Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the root of a quadratic equation x = a then the factor is (x - a)
Here the roots are x = 5 and x = 7 , then the corresponding factors are
(x - 5) , (x - 7)
The equation is then the product of the factors, that is
y = (x - 5)(x - 7) ← expand using FOIL
= x² - 7x - 5x + 35 ← collect like terms
y = x² - 12x + 35 → D
