Write a quadratic function in standard form with zeros 9 and -4.

Asked by Uconnkid

Answer (3)

A quadratic function with zeros 9 and -4 is written in standard form as f(x) = x^2 - 5x - 36, which is derived by expanding the expression (x - 9)(x + 4) = 0. ;

To create a quadratic function with roots at 9 and -4, we can write it in factored form as f(x) = (x - 9)(x + 4). Expanding this gives us the standard form f(x) = x² - 5x - 36. This function has the desired zeros at the specified values.
