Write a polynomial of least degree with roots 2 and – 7

x^2+5x-14

Step-by-step explanation:

2 and -7 are the roots of the polynomial then we have to write them as

 x=2 ,x=-7

To convert these as factors, we have to write them as

(  x-2) (x+7)

The product of those factors will give the polynomial. Because we have two factors, we will get a quadratic polynomial.

x^2+7x-2x-14

x^2+5x-14

Number of factors  =  Highest exponent of the polynomial

y = x² + 5x - 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given roots x = a, x = b, then the corresponding factors are

(x - a) and (x - b) and the polynomial is the product of the factors

y = (x - a)(x - b)

Here the roots are x = 2 and x = - 7, then the factors are

(x - 2) and (x - (- 7)) = (x + 7), so

y = (x - 2)(x + 7) ← expand using FOIL

y = x² + 5x - 14
