1. Problem Description

The problem asks to find a quadratic equation in the standard form ax2+bx+c=0ax^2 + bx + c = 0 given the solutions x=15x = -15 and x=14x = -14, where aa, bb, and cc are integers with no common factor, and aa is positive.

2. Solution Steps

If the solutions to the quadratic equation are x1x_1 and x2x_2, then the equation can be written as
(xx1)(xx2)=0(x - x_1)(x - x_2) = 0.
In our case, x1=15x_1 = -15 and x2=14x_2 = -14. Substituting these values, we get:
(x(15))(x(14))=0(x - (-15))(x - (-14)) = 0
(x+15)(x+14)=0(x + 15)(x + 14) = 0
Expanding this expression, we have:
x2+14x+15x+(15)(14)=0x^2 + 14x + 15x + (15)(14) = 0
x2+29x+210=0x^2 + 29x + 210 = 0
In this equation, a=1a = 1, b=29b = 29, and c=210c = 210. Since aa, bb, and cc have no common factors (other than 1) and aa is positive, the quadratic equation is x2+29x+210=0x^2 + 29x + 210 = 0.

3. Final Answer

x2+29x+210=0x^2 + 29x + 210 = 0
