Question

Select the quadratic that has roots x = 8 and x = -5.

Answer 1

$\text{ The roots are}~ \alpha = 8~ \text{and}~ \beta = -5\\\\\text{Equation for the given roots,}\\\\x^2 -(\alpha +\beta )x +\alpha \beta = 0\\\\\implies x^2 -(8-5)x + 8(-5)=0\\\\\implies x^2 -3x -40=0\\\\\text{Hence, the answer is option B}$
