According to the question, our quadratic equation is :

\begin{gathered} \bf {x}^{2} - ( {r}^{2} + {s}^{2} )x + {r}^{2} {s}^{2} = 0 \\ \bf \implies \: {x}^{2} - ( - 91)x + {(rs)}^{2} = 0 \\ \bf \implies \: {x}^{2} + 91x + {(50)}^{2} = 0 \\ \bf \implies \: {x}^{2} + 91x + 2500 = 0\end{gathered}

x

=0

⟹x

−(−91)x+(rs)

2

=0

⟹x

2

+91x+(50)

2

=0

⟹x

2

+91x+2500=0
