  1. Answer:

    c) x² + 3x – 40

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Zeros are given as 5 and -8.

    Finding the sum of Zeros:

    Sum of Zeros = 5 + (-8)

    → Sum of Zeros = -3

    Finding the product of zeros:

    Product of zeros = 5 × (-8)

    → Product of Zeros = -40

    The General formula of Quadratic Polynomial when it’s sum and product of zeros is known can be given as:

    Polynomial = x² – (Sum of Zeros)x + Product of Zeros

    → Quadratic polynomial = x² – (-3)x + (-40)

    → Quadratic polynomial = x² + 3x – 40

    So, Quadratic polynomial = x² + 3x – 40

    KNOW MORE:

    ★ Generally Zeros of a Quadratic polynomial are represented by Alpha and Beta symbols.

    ★ For a Quadratic polynomial of general form ax² + bx + c

    • Sum of Zeros = -b ÷ a
    • Product of zeros = c ÷ a
