Question

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.

If α and `1/α` are the zeroes of the quadratic 2x² − x + 8k, polynomial 2 then k is:

Options

• 4

• `1/4`

• `(-1)/4`

• 2

Answer 1

`1/4`
