CASE STUDY BASED:
1. A suspension bridge is a type of bridge in which the deck is hung below suspension cables
on vertical suspenders. The suspension cables are in
parabolic shape. The point on the suspension cable just
above the mid-point of the deck is the lowest point of the
suspension cable and the suspension cable is symmetric
about a vertical line, parallel to the suspenders, through the
lowest point.
A parabola is the curve representing P(x) = ax2+bx+c.
Parabolas are symmetric about a vertical line known as the
axis which cuts the parabola at the lowest or highest point
known as the vertex of the parabola.
(i) If the suspension cable is represented by the polynomial x2 − 8x − 20 , then find its
zeroes.
(ii) Find a quadratic polynomial whose one zero is -2 and product of the zeroes is 8.
(iii) Find a quadratic polynomial whose zeroes are reciprocal of the zeroes of
6 x2 − 7 x − 3.
