When given the roots of a quadratic equation we can work backwards to find the quadratic equation. Example: If you know that your roots are 3 and -4, that means that and What would this look like as a factored equation? How can you get the quadratic equation from there?
So, in general, if we have roots and, we can find the quadratic equation with those roots by simplifying. If there are fractional coefficients left, you can multiply both sides by their to clear the fractions. If there is only one root, then it is a root and we will use it as both and. LCD double
