If x=1 and x=-8 are zeros for a quadratic equation, then they satisfy,
\n" ); document.write( "\"x-1=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2B8=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "The simplest quadratic equation would be the two left hand sides multiplied together.
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x-1%29%28x%2B8%29=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "Using the FOIL method we can expand the left hand side,
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x-1%29%28x%2B8%29=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2%2B8x-x-8=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2%2B7x-8=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
