PolynomialsImportant Questions Two water taps together can fill a tank in 9 3/8 hours. The tap of larger diameter takes 10 hours less than the smaller one to fill the tank separately. Find the time in which each tap can separately fill the tank.

Its height above water level after t seconds is given by h = 20t – 16t2. Based on the above, answer the following questions: (i) Find zeroes of polynomial p(t) = 20t – 16t². (ii) Which of the following types of graph represents p(t)? Read More » Find the value of ‘p’ for which one root of the quadratic equation px2 – 14x + 8 = 0 is 6 times the other.
