A. x2 + 13x – 140 = 0
B. x2 – 13x + 140 = 0
C. x2 – 13x – 140 = 0
D. x2 + 13x + 140 = 0
Explanation:
Any quadratic equation is of the form
x2 – (sum of the roots)x + (product of the roots) = 0 —- (1)
where x is a real variable. As sum of the roots is 13 and product of the roots is -140, the quadratic equation with roots as 20 and -7 is: x2 – 13x – 140 = 0.
Correct Answer: C. x2 – 13x – 140 = 0 ✔
