Write the quadratic equation whose roots are 5 and -6 , and whose leading coefficient is 1 . (Use the letter x to represent the variable.)

Answer 1

corresponding to each root is a factor.

Just change the sign of the root and add it to x

(x-5)(x+6) = x²+x-30 = 0

5 and -6 are the roots or zeroes of that equation. The leading coefficient of x² is 1
