Ankita got an electric wire and she wanted to bend the wire in a mathematical shape. She bent the wire in a shape of a parabola. A parabola has one of the two shapes either open upwards like or open downwards like . The shape made by Ankita is shown in the below figure:
Sabita got another electric wire whose shape is also a parabola. If the zeroes of Sabita's parabola are reciprocal to each other and the polynomial of it is , then the value of is
