The solutions of a quadratic equation are -5,9. Write a related quadratic function in factored form.

Step-by-step explanation:

The solutions of the quadratic equation are those values such that polynomial is equal to zero. Then:

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4

m∠a is 90°

m∠b is 40°
