Question
Write the family of quadratic polynomials having \[- \frac{1}{4}\] and 1 as its zeros.
Solution
We know that, if `x=a` is a zero of a polynomial then `x-2` is a factor of quadratic polynomials.
Since `(-1)/4`and 1 are zeros of polynomial.
Therefore `(x+1/4)(x - 1)`
`= x^2 + 1/4x-x - 1/4`
`= x^2+ 1/2 x -(1xx4)/(1xx4)x-1/4`
`= x^2 +(1-4)/4x -1/4`
`= x^2-3/4x-1/4`
Hence, the family of quadratic polynomials is `f(x)= k(x^2-3/4x-1/4)`, where k is any non-zero real number

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.

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.
