Question

Which quadratic equation has roots - 2 and 1/5 :

Answer 1

Answer:

$5 {x}^{2} \: + \: 8x \: - 2 \: = \: 0$

Step-by-step explanation:

$sum \: of roots = - 2 + \frac{1}{5} = - \frac{8}{5} \\ product \: of \: roots = - 2 \times \frac{1}{5} = - \frac{2}{5} \\ from \: general \: equation \\ a {x}^{2} + bx + c = 0 \\ {x}^{2} + \frac{8}{5} x \: - \frac{2}{5} = 0 \\ 5 {x}^{2} \: + \: 8x \: - 2 \: = \: 0$
