Write a quadratic equation with the given roots. write the equation in the form ax^2+bx+c=0 , where a, b, and c are integers. –7 and –2

  x² +9x +14 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the roots are integers, we can write the equation in the given form using a=1. Then b is the opposite of the sum of the roots:

  b = -((-7) +(-2)) = 9

And c is the product of the roots:

  c = (-7)(-2) = 14

So, the desired quadratic equation is ...

  x² +9x +14 = 0

_____

The attached graph confirms the roots of this equation.

_____

Another way

For root r, a factor of the equation is (x -r). For the given two roots, the factors are ...

  (x -(-7))(x -(-2)) = (x +7)(x +2)

When expanded, this expression is ...

  x(x +2) +7(x +2) = x² +2x +7x +14

  = x² +9x +14

We want the equation where this is set to zero:

  x² +9x +14 = 0

___

If a root is a fraction, say p/q, then the factor (x -p/q) can also be written as (qx -p). In this case, expanding the product of binomial factors will result in a value for "a" that is not 1.

step-by-step explanation:

consider an orange peel: if you want to try and lay it flat, you have to stretch it, we know exactly how things are being stretched or squashed at any given point. we have many different map projections because each has different patterns of some projections can even preserve certain features of the earth without
