Question

Write the quadratic equation whose roots are 6 and -5 and who’s leading coefficient is 4

Answer 1

`\begin{cases} x = 6 &\implies x -6=0\\ x = -5 &\implies x +5=0\\ \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{original~polynomial}{a ( x -6 )( x +5 ) = \stackrel{0}{y}}\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\textit{since the leading coefficient is 4}}{a=4} \\\\\\ 4(x-6)(x+5)=y\implies 4(x^2-x-30)=y\implies \boxed{4x^2-4x-120=y}`
