Question

Write a quadratic equation in standard form.

Answer 1

Answer:

  1.  x^2 +2x -24 = 0

  2.  x^2 -7x +10 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

If you look at the factored and expanded forms of a quadratic with solutions p and q, you see ...

  (x -p)(x -q) = x^2 -(p+q) +pq

The x-term coefficient is the opposite of the sum of solutions.

The constant is the product of solutions.

This knowledge lets you write down the standard form equation with no particular effort.

1.  x^2 +2x -24 = 0

2.  x^2 -7x +10 = 0
