Finding a Quadratic Equation Whose Roots are Given

How to find a Quadratic Equation When Its Roots Are Given?

In this lesson I will discuss how to find the quadratic equation when its roots are given.   

To find the quadratic equation I will multiply the “x – first root”  to “x – second root”.   

What that means? 

Let’s do it by taking an example. Find the quadratic equation whose roots are “-1” and “3”.   

Solution: I will find the product of {x – (-1)} and (x – 3) and mark it equal to zero as shown below;   

{x – (-1)} (x – 3) = 0  

(x + 1) (x – 3) = 0 

Then I use FOIL to expand at the Left Hand Side  

x² – 3x – x – 3 = 0    

x² – 4x – 3 = 0   

Above is my quadratic equation whose roots are “-1” and “3”.   

Exercise: Find the quadratic equation with roots 2 and -4.

I will be very happy if you also have a look at my blog and we help each other mutually and learn from each other.

You have an awesome blog dear @rocksg. I will make every effort in my reach to make you happier!

That is very kind of you dear. I know you are really working hard here and your posts are performing well here, I will be happy if you also support me and get me some good rewards if you have some good followers of yours. That will be very supportive for me.

I will be more than happy to support you dear friend @rocksg. I suggest you to write some educational posts for @steemiteducation blog. You can visit their blog and read one of their posts for more information. They have a discord channel where you drop off your educational post link for resteem.

My posts are about $4 to $5 dollar max without @steemiteducation resteem. Give it a try you will see the results instantly. I will keep helping you as much as I can.

Best of luck here at steemit and everywhere in your life.
