Question

Write the quadratic equation whose roots are 3 and -3, and whose leading coefficient is 3.
(Use the letter x to represent the variable.)

Answer 1

The quadratic equation is  3x² - 27.

What is Quadratic Equation?

A quadratic equation is a second-order polynomial equation in a single variable x ax²+bx+c=0. with a ≠ 0 .

Given:

The roots are 3 and -3

We have

α= 3   and β=-3

So,

α+β = -b/a  and αβ = c/a

α+β = 0 =-b/a and  αβ= -9 = c/a

Comparing from above

a=1, b= 0 and c=-9

Also, the leading coefficient is 3.

Then the quadratic equation is,

= 3(ax² + bx + c)

= 3( x² +0x- 9)

Hence, the quadratic equation is 3x² - 27.
