Write the quadratic equation whose roots are 1 and 2 , and whose leading coefficient 5 is .

Question

(Use the letter x to represent the variable.)

Answer 1

If this is your current topic of study, you MUST know this:

5(x-1)(x-2) = 0

The 5 would only become important if you have the function
f(x) = 5(x-1)(x-2)

For the quadratic equation 5(x-1)(x-2) = 0 it would have no effect on
the roots.
