    The number of polynomials having zeroes as - 2 and 5 is

    A) 1

    B) 2

    C) 3

    D) more than 3

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The equation of a quadratic polynomial is  \[{{x}^{2}}\]- (sum of zeroes) x + product of zeroes Sum of zeroes = - 2 + 5=3 and product of zeroes \[=-2\times 5=-10\]
     \[\therefore\] Equation \[={{x}^{2}}-3x-10\]
    . We know that, the zeroes do not change if the polynomial is divided or multiplied by a constant.
    \[\therefore \,\,k{{x}^{2}}-3kx-10k\]will also have - 2 and 5 as their zeroes. As k can take any real value there can be many polynomial having - 2 and 5 as their zeroes
