DIRECTIONS:
a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
c) A is true but R is false.
d) A is false but R is true.
15. Assertion (A): Graph of a quadratic polynomial is always U-shaped upward or downward. [1]
Reason (R): Curve of any quadratic polynomial is always symmetric about the fixed - line.
16. Assertion (A): has no real zeros [1]
Reason (R): A quadratic polynomial can have at the most two zeroes.
17. Assertion (A): Polynomial has two real zeroes. [1]
Reason (R): Zeroes of the polynomial are 0 and a.
18. Assertion: ( √ ) is one zero of the quadratic polynomial then other zero will be ( √ ). [1]
Reason: Irrational zeros (roots) always occurs in pairs.
19. Assertion: If both zeros of the quadratic polynomial are equal in magnitude but opposite in sign then [1]
value of is
Reason: Sum of zeros of a quadratic polynomial is .
20. Read the text carefully and answer the questions: [4]
Rainbow is an arch of colours that is visible in the sky after rain or when water droplets are present in the
atmosphere. The colours of the rainbow are generally, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. Each
colour of the rainbow makes a parabola. We know that any quadratic polynomial
represents a parabola on the graph paper.
i. The graph of a rainbow is shown in the figure. Write the number of zeroes of the curve.
ii. If the graph of a rainbow does not intersect the but intersects at one point, then how many
zeroes will it have?
iii. If a rainbow is represented by the quadratic polynomial , whose zeroes are 2 and - 3,
find the value of and .
iv. The polynomial represents a rainbow. If is a zero of it, find the value of .
