Best answer

Answer: \(ax^2 + bx + c = 0\); sum = 17; product = 60; \(x^2 - 17x + 60 = 0\)

Standard form: \(ax^2 + bx + c = 0\) (\(a \ne 0\)).

Sum of roots \(= 5 + 12 = 17\). Product of roots \(= 5 \times 12 = 60\).

Quadratic equation: \(x^2 - (\text{sum of roots})x + \text{product of roots} = 0\)

\(\therefore x^2 - 17x + 60 = 0\)

(For roots 2 and 5: \(x^2 - 7x + 10 = 0\). For roots 3 and −10: \(x^2 + 7x - 30 = 0\).)
