Write the quadratic equation whose roots are - 5 and -4, and whose leading coefficient is 3.

The quadratic equation is

3x^2+ 27x + 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we have the roots -5 and -4 and the leading coefficient of 3

Mathematically, we simply have this done to the roots;

x = -5 implies x+ 5

x = -4 implies x + 4

The product of this two will be;

(x + 5)(x + 4)

= x^2 + 5x + 4x + 20

= x^2 + 9x + 20

we add the leading coefficient

that would be;

3(x^2 + 9x + 20)

= 3x^2 + 27x + 60

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.
