Full solution stays hidden until you ask for it.
1. Write a factor x-r for each root r.
2. Include leading coefficient if the quadratic is not monic.
3. Multiply factors and compare with the polynomial.
Use the worked steps, then substitute the final answer back into the original relationship to confirm it satisfies the prompt.
Omitting leading coefficient for non-monic quadratics.
