Question:
If one zero of the polynomial (a^2 +9)x^2 +13x+ 6a is the reciprocal of the other find a
Answer:

Given, polynomial is (a2 + 9)x2 + 13x + 6a

Let te zeros of the polynomials are p and 1/p

Now, product of zeros = 6a/(a2 + 9)

=> p * 1/p = 6a/(a2 + 9)

=> 6a/(a2 + 9) = 1

=> a2 + 9 = 6a

=> a2 - 6a + 9 = 0

=> (a - 3)2 = 0

=> a - 3 = 0

=> a = 3

So, the value of a is 3
