Sum of zeros = 3/1
-b/a = 3/1
Product of zeros = 2/1
c/a = 2/1
This gives 
a = 1
b = -3
c = -2,
The required quadratic equation is
ax²+bx+c
So,  x²-3x+2

Given ,g(x)=x+2=0
x=-2

P(x)=x³-2ax²+16
p(-2)=(-2³)-2×a×(-2²)+16
= -8 - 8a +16
= 8 - 8a
⇒ -8a = -8
⇒ a=1
Hence, value of a=1

So option B is correct answer. 

Given :
3 + 5 + (-8) = 0.

Then,
3³ + 5³ + (-8)³ = ?

Using, identity...
If a+b+c=0, then a³ + b ³ + c³ = 3abc

Let a = 3, b = 5 and c = -8.

Here, a + b + c = 3 + 5 + (-8) = 0.

Then, a³ + b³ + c³ = 3³ + 5³ + (-8)³ 
= 3× 3 × 5 × -8
= 9 × -40
= -360

Using mid-term splitting,
x²+x-20=x²+5x-4x-20=x(x+5)-4(x+5)
Taking common x+5
(x+5)(x-4) , so the other factor is x-4

P(x) = 2x² + 5x + 1
Sum of roots = -5/2
Product of roots = 1/2
Therefore substituting these values, 
α + β +αβ 
=(α + β) + αβ
= -5/2 + 1/2
= -4/2 
= -2

If α  and β are the zeros of the polynomial then
(x−α)(x−β) are the factors of the polynomial
Thus, (x−α)(x−β) is the polynomial.
So, the polynomial =x² − αx − βx + αβ
=x² − (α + β)x + αβ....(i) 
Now,the quadratic polynomial is  
2 − 3x − x² = x² + 3x − 2....(ii)

Now, comparing equation (i) and (ii),we get,
−(α + β) = 3 
α + β = −3

The quadratic equation is of the form  x² - (sum of zeros) x + (product of zeros)
=x² - 5x - 14

Zeros of the polynomials are the values which gives zero when their value is substituted in the polynomial
When x=2,
x²+ax+b =(2)²+a*2+b=0
4+2a+b=0
b=-4-2a    ….1
When x=3,
(3)²+ 3a + b=0
9 + 3a + b=0
Substituting 
9 + 3a - 4 - 2a =0
5 + a =0
a = -5
b = 6

We have remainder theorem as 
x³-3x²+x+2=q(x)*g(x)+r(x)
x³-3x²+x+2=(x-2)g(x)+(4-2x)
g(x)= 
So by division method,
g(x)= x² - x + 1

Let's assume the quotient polynomial as ax + b.

Now, (x - 1 - x^2)(ax + b) + 3 = 3x^2 - x^3 - 3x + 5

ax^3 + bx^2 + ax^2 - ax^2 - bx - a + 3 = -x^3 + 3x^2 - 3x + 5

ax^3 + (b - 1)x^2 + (a - b)x + (3 - a) = -x^3 + 3x^2 - 3x + 5

Equating the coefficients of the same degree terms on both sides, we get:

For x^3: a = -1 For x^2: b - 1 = 3 => b = 4 For x: a - b = -3 => a - 4 = -3 => a = 1 For constant: 3 - a = 5 => a = -2

Therefore, the quotient polynomial is x + 4.

Hence, the quotient polynomial is x + 4.

So it s an equation of a parabola.

The graph will be that of a parabola.

The correct answer is a.

(1+1/α) (1+1/β) 

= (α+1/α) (β+1/β)

=αβ + α + β + 1 / αβ

=( 2/5 + 1/3+ 1)  /  2/5

=26/15 X 5/2 = 13/3

Sum of two solutions is zero ,so both are inverse of each other. So we have the solutions as a,-a,b.
(x-a)(x+a)(x+b)=(x²-a²)(x+b)=x³+bx²-a2x-a2b
pq=-a²b=r

Let P(x)=(x−a)(x+a)Q(x)+rx+s
When we divide by x+a, we get
P(−a)=(−a−a)(−a+a)Q(−a)+r(−a)+s=a
⇒s−ra=a   ...(1)
And when we divide by x−a, we get
P(a)=(a−a)(a+a)Q(a)+ra+s=−a
⇒s+ra=−a    ...(2)
Solving (1) and (2), we get
s=0,r=−1
Hence, P(x)=(x−a)(x+a)Q(x)−x
And when we divide by x2-a2, it leaves a remainder −x.

Let one root be a, other root is a².
(x-a)(x-a²)=x²+(-a²-a)x+a³
p³=(-a²-a)³=-a⁶-3a⁵-3a⁴-a³
-q(3p-1)= -a³(3(-a²-a)-1)=3a⁵+3a⁴+a³
q²=a⁶
Substituting the values
-a⁶-3a⁵-3a⁴-a³+3a⁵+3a⁴+a³+a⁶=0

Alpha(a) and beta(b) are roots of x^2 + px + 1

This implies that sum of roots= a+b = -p/1=-p

And the product of roots = ab = 1/1=1

Similarly ,

Gamma(c) and delta(d) are roots of x^2 + qx + 1

So c+d=-q and cd =1.

The above results can be obtained once we know that any quadratic equation has two roots and hence can be written as (x-p)(x-q)=0 where a and b are the roots .

So x^2 -(p+q)x + pq =0

Comparing this with the general form of quadratic equation :ax^2 + bx + c= 0 we get

Sum of the roots =p+q= -b/a

And product of the roots = pq = c/a}
 

RHS=(a-c)(b-c)(a+d)(b+d)

=(c^2-ac-bc +ab)(d^2 +bd +ad + ab)

We know ab=1

So RHS= (c^2-ac-bc +1)(d^2 +bd +ad + 1)

= (c^2)(d^2) +(a+b)c^2(d) + c^2 -(d^2)c(a+b) -(a+b)^2(cd) -(a+b)c + d^2 + bd + ad + 1

= 1 + ac+bc + c^2 - da-db - (a^2 + b^2 + 2(1)) -ac -bc + bd + ad +1

Cancelling off all the common terms,

We get c^2 +d^2-a^2-b^2

= c^2+d^2-a^2-b^2
=c^2 -a^2 + d^2 -b^2 + 2(1) -2(1){ ab=cd =1}
=c^2 + d^2 + 2cd - a^2 - b^2 - 2ab
LHS=(c+d)^2-(a+b)^2
Therefore,
But we know -p= a+b and -q = c+d
LHS= q^2-p^2

Let α and β be the roots of the given equation.
Then, α + β = 5/2 and αβ = 2/2 = 1
∴ 2α + 2β
∴ 2(α + β)
∴ 5,(2α)(2β) = 4
So, the requiared equation is : 
x²−5x+4=0
