प्रश्न
The graph of the polynomial f(x) = ax2 + bx + c is as shown below (Fig. 2.19). Write the signs of 'a' and b2 − 4ac.
उत्तर
Clearly, `f(x) = ax^2 bx + c` represent a parabola opening upwards. Therefore, `a > 0`
Since the parabola cuts x-axis at two points, this means that the polynomial will have two real solutions
Hence `b^2 - 4 ac > 0`
Hence ` a> 0 `and `b^2 - 4ac > 0 `

Case Study -1
The figure given alongside shows the path of a diver, when she takes a jump from the diving board. Clearly it is a parabola.
Annie was standing on a diving board, 48 feet above the water level. She took a dive into the pool. Her height (in feet) above the water level at any time ‘t’ in seconds is given by the polynomial h(t) such that h(t) = -16t2 + 8t + k.
A polynomial q(t) with sum of zeroes as 1 and the product as -6 is modelling Anu’s height in feet above the water at any time t( in seconds). Then q(t) is given by ______.
An asana is a body posture, originally and still a general term for a sitting meditation pose, and later extended in hatha yoga and modern yoga as exercise, to any type of pose or position, adding reclining, standing, inverted, twisting, and balancing poses. In the figure, one can observe that poses can be related to representation of quadratic polynomial.

Basketball and soccer are played with a spherical ball. Even though an athlete dribbles the ball in both sports, a basketball player uses his hands and a soccer player uses his feet. Usually, soccer is played outdoors on a large field and basketball is played indoor on a court made out of wood. The projectile (path traced) of soccer ball and basketball are in the form of parabola representing quadratic polynomial.
