Answer:

Well, we can write a really simple quadratic polynomial as:

P(x) = a*(x - c1)*(x - c2)

Where a is a constat, and c1 and c2 are the roots, here we have:

c1 = 5 and c2 = -3

P(x) = a*(x -5)(x + 3) = a*x^2 + a*x*3 - a*5*x - a*15

then the quadratic polynomial can be:

P(x) = a*x^2 + a*(3 - 5)*x - a*15

P(x) = a*x^2 - 2*a*x - a*15

Where a can be any real number.
