Write a polynomial equation that has the solutions −11 and 5. The equation must have integer coefficients.

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\bf x=-11\implies x+11=0\implies {\color{blue}{ (x+11)}}=0 \\ \quad \\ x=5\implies x-5=0\implies {\color{blue}{ (x-5)}}=0 \\ \quad \\ {\color{blue}{ (x-5)}}{\color{blue}{ (x+11)}}=0\implies {\color{blue}{ (x-5)}}{\color{blue}{ (x+11)}}=\textit{original polynomial}\) FOIL it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jdoe0001 could it be x^2+6x-55

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmm did you FOIL it?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

could it be x^2+6x-55 \(\checkmark\)
