write a quadratic with a fractional and irrational solution

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

got a "a fractional and irrational solution" ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

something like (x-1/2)(x-square root 2)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

firstly... get the "solutions" or zeros or roots get a fractional one then an irrational one and you can take it from there easy

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

they don't have to be specific... just fractional and irrational pretty much any you can think of

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well the zeros can be 1/2 and square root 2..?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i tried multiplying it and u get x^2-sqyare root 2 x -1/2 x -square root 2/x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sqare root 2/2*

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

so that means to get the polynomial well... the multiplication is right to get the polynomial

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\bf \begin{cases} \frac{1}{2} \\ \quad \\ \sqrt{2} \end{cases}\left(x-\frac{1}{2}\right)\left(x-\sqrt{2}\right)=\textit{original quadratic polynomial}\) but you product I think is a bit off

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help me solve it, i can't get the answer

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmm one sec

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\bf \begin{cases} \frac{1}{2} \\ \quad \\ \sqrt{2} \end{cases}\left(x-\frac{1}{2}\right)\left(x-\sqrt{2}\right)=x^2+\left({\color{brown}{ -x\sqrt{2}-\frac{1}{2}x}}\right)+\cfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \\ \quad \\ {\color{brown}{ -x\sqrt{2}-\cfrac{1}{2}x\implies \cfrac{-x\sqrt{2}}{1}-\cfrac{x}{2}\implies \cfrac{-2x\sqrt{2}-x}{2}\implies \cfrac{x(-2\sqrt{2}-1)}{2}}} \\ \quad \\ x^2+\left({\color{brown}{ -x\sqrt{2}-\frac{1}{2}x}}\right)+\cfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\implies x^2+\cfrac{x(-2\sqrt{2}-1)}{2}+\cfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \\ \quad \\ x^2-\cfrac{(2\sqrt{2}+1)}{2}x+\cfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\)

thank you!
