muminat

Answer:

the equation is : x²-x-12

Step-by-step explanation:

the quadratic equation is in the form of : y=ax²+bx+c

the product of the zeros is -12 and the sum is 1

b  = - 1

c=-12 (product)

y=x²-x-12

check : factorize first (x+3)(x-4)=0

either x+3=0 then x=-3

or x-4=0 then x=4

-3*4=-12

-3+4=1

the equation is : x²-x-12
