Answer:


f(x)=x^2+9x-10

Explanation:

Standard Form of Quadratic Function

The standard representation of a quadratic function is:


f(x)=ax^2+bx+c

where a,b, and c are constants.

The factored form of a quadratic equation is:


f(x)=a(x-\alpha)(x-\beta)

Where
\alpha and
\beta are the roots or zeros of f.

The question gives the zeros of the function: 1 and -10. This makes our function look like:


f(x)=a(x-1)[x-(-10)]


f(x)=a(x-1)(x+10)

Operating:


f(x)=a(x^2+10x-x-10)

Joining like terms:


f(x)=a(x^2+9x-10)

Since we are not given any more conditions, we choose the value of a=1, thus. the required function is:


\boxed{f(x)=x^2+9x-10}
