Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem is asking to write a quadratic function whose zeros are 11 and -2.
To construct a quadratic function from its zeros (roots), we use the fact that if a quadratic equation has roots and , the corresponding quadratic function can be written as:
Here, the zeros are and , so the function becomes:
Now, we'll expand the expression:
If no value for is given, we assume , so the quadratic function becomes:
Thus, the quadratic function is:
