Question: If the square of the difference of the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial P(x) = x2+px+45 is equal to 144. Find the value of p.
Solution:
Let a and b be the zeroes of the polynomial P(x)
Using the relation between zeroes and coefficients, we have
a+b=-p and ab=45 ... (i)
It is given that (a-b)2 = 144
Therefore, (a+b)2 - 4ab = 144
(-p)2 - 4(45) = 144 ... From (i)
p2 - 180 = 144
p2 = 324
p = 18 or -18
Hence, the value of p is 18 or -18.
