Correct Answer – The required quadratic equation is `x^(2) + 10x + 21 = 0`
Let `alpha = – 3` and `beta = – 7`
Then `alpha + beta = – 3-7 = -10` and `alpha beta = ( -3) xx ( -7) = 21 `
The required quadratic equation is
`x^(2) – (alpha + beta) x + alpha beta = 0 `
`:. x^(2) – ( -10) x + 21 = 0`
`:. x^(2) + 10x + 21 = 0` ….( Substituting the values )
