Write the quadratic equation whose roots are -2 and -6, and whose leading coefficient is 1. (Use the letter x to represent the variable.)

To have a root of -2, you want a factor of (x+2) in your equation.

To have a root of -6, you want a factor of (x+6) in your equation.

Multiplying those together, you have y=(x+2)(x+6) or y=x^2+8x+12

This also has a leading coefficient of 1.

answer: 1722

step-by-step explanation:

given: the mass of saturn=

the mass of mercury=

the number of times the mass of saturn is greater than the mass of mercury

hence, the mass of saturn is 1722 times greater than the mass of mercury.

95.03 is the answer. hope this !
