Which quadratic equation has roots x = 2 and x = 7?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: x² − 9x + 14 = 0

The governing concept is the formation of a monic quadratic from its roots. If α and β are the roots, the equation is (x − α)(x − β) = 0. Here α = 2 and β = 7, so we write (x − 2)(x − 7) = 0. On expanding, x² − 7x − 2x + 14 = 0, which becomes x² − 9x + 14 = 0. Therefore option A is correct. The result can also be checked using Vieta’s relations: the sum of roots must be 2 + 7 = 9, so the coefficient of x in a monic equation is −9, while the product must be 2 × 7 = 14, giving the constant term 14. Option B has the wrong sign for the sum, option C interchanges sum and product, and option D has unsuitable signs and coefficients.
