Question

If the solutions to a quadratic function are x = 3 and x = -5, write the factored form of the function.

Answer 1

solutions of a quadratic are the values of x when the function is equal to zero, these x values are the roots.
so in factored form you have (x+a)(x+b)=0
if you substitute x by 3 and -5 you can find the values of a and b that make this equation true..
