Math Problem Statement
Write a quadratic function with leading coefficient 1 that has roots of 11 and P.
Solution
To write a quadratic function with roots and , we can use the fact that the general form of a quadratic function with roots and is:
Since the leading coefficient and the roots are and , the quadratic function is:
Now, expand the expression:
Thus, the quadratic function is:
