Question

Write a quadratic polynomial, sum and product of whose
zeroes are -4 and -21 respectively.

Answer 1

x^2 -4x -21

Explanation:

Here, we want to write a quadratic polynomial

We have the sum as -4

Let us have x as the variable

so the sum of the variables is -4x

while the product is -21 x^2

Two factors of 21 that can work here is -7x and 3x

So we have

x^2 - 7x + 3x -21

= x^2 -4x -21
