Take Free Practice Test On 2026 JAMB UTME, Post UTME, WAEC SSCE, GCE, NECO SSCE
  • A Y = 1 + 2x + 3x2
  • B Y = 1 - 2x + 3x2
  • C Y = 1 + 2x - 3x2
  • D Y = 1 - 2x - 3x2
  • E Y = 3x2 + 2x - 1
Correct Answer: Option E
Explanation:
The roots of the function are 1 and \(\frac{1}{3}\)

sum of roots = -1 + \(\frac{1}{3}\) = -\(\frac{2}{3}\)

product of roots = -1 x \(\frac{1}{3}\) = -\(\frac{1}{3}\)

x2 - (sum of roots)x + (product of roots) = 0

x2 + (-\(\frac{2}{3}\))x - (-\(\frac{1}{3}\)) = 0

x2 + \(\frac{2x}{3}\) - \(\frac{1}{3}\) = 0

3x2 + 2x - 1 = 0
