Answer:

The answer is actually x^2 - 2x - 15

Explanation:

This is because:

if the roots given are -3 and 5, we would have to use the inverse term for it meaning instead of -3, it would be positive 3, and instead of 5 it would be negative 5. Plug this into all of the equations given or simply just write the equation: (x+3)(x-5). Solve this to get x^2 - 2x - 15.
