Question
If a quadratic polynomial f(x) is factorizable into linear distinct factors, then what is the total number of real and distinct zeros of f(x)?
Solution
If a quadratic polynomial `f(x)= ax^2 + bx + c` is factorized into linear polynomials then the total number of real and distinct zeros of `f(x)` will be `2`.

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.
At what time will she touch the water in the pool?
The below picture are few natural examples of parabolic shape which is represented by a quadratic polynomial. A parabolic arch is an arch in the shape of a parabola. In structures, their curve represents an efficient method of load, and so can be found in bridges and in architecture in a variety of forms.
In the standard form of a quadratic polynomial, ax2 + bx + c, a, b and c are:
