Find a quadratic polynomial whose zeros are 2 and ‒5.
It is given in the question that the two roots of the given polynomial are 2 and – 5
Let us assume and = - 5
We have:
Sum of Zeros = = 2 + (-5) = - 3
Product of Zeros = = 2 × (-5) = - 10
Hence,
Required polynomial = x2 – (
= x2 – (- 3) x + 10
= x2 + 3x – 10
