1. A quadratic equation has the following form: ax²+bx+c.
2. The leading coefficient is the number that is attached to the variable with the highest exponent. Then, the "a" is the leading coefficient of the quadratic equation.
3. The problem says that the leading coefficient is 1 (a=1) and the roots of the quadratic equation are 5 and -3. Then, you have:
(x-5)(x+3)=0
4. When you apply the distributive property, you obtain:
x²+3x-5x-15=0
x²-2x-15=0
5. Therefore, the answer is:
x²-2x-15=0
Answer:
(x + 2)(x - 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Here are the steps:
The answer is 35/64 or 0.546875 in decimal form
first we write all numerators above the least common denominator 64
1+40-6
————
64
next we solve the numerators by doing 1+40-6 to get 35/64
