Solution
If zeros of quadratic polynomial f(x) are know, then find required polynomial by following formula Let f(x)=k{x2−(sumofzeros)+x+productofzeros},
where k=a real number Let f(x) be a polynomial Sum and product of whose zeros are −3 and 2 respectively f(x)=k[x2−(−3)x+2]=k[x2+3x+2](∵k=realnumber) Thus required polynomial f(x)=x2+3x+2
