1. Problem Description

The problem asks to write a quadratic equation in the standard form ax2+bx+c=0ax^2 + bx + c = 0 with the given solutions x=3x = 3 and x=10x = 10. Also, aa must be positive, and aa, bb, and cc must be integers with no common factors.

2. Solution Steps

Since x=3x=3 and x=10x=10 are solutions to the quadratic equation, we can write the equation in factored form as:
(x3)(x10)=0(x - 3)(x - 10) = 0
Expanding this expression, we get:
x210x3x+30=0x^2 - 10x - 3x + 30 = 0
Combining like terms, we have:
x213x+30=0x^2 - 13x + 30 = 0
Here, a=1a=1, b=13b=-13, and c=30c=30. Since aa is positive and the coefficients have no common factors, this is the desired quadratic equation.

3. Final Answer

x213x+30=0x^2 - 13x + 30 = 0
