Question 565617: I have to come up with an quadratic equation with the solutions of:
x=-3
x=0
x=5
I am confused because I was no aware of a solution being a negative number, or quadratic equation having 3 soultions. I am speechless on how to come up with an quadratic equation. Could you please help me?

You are correct in saying a quadratic equation cannot have 3 solutions.

You are wrong in saying it cannot have a negative solution.
Y = x^2+5x+6 has 2 negative solutions:
Factor:
(x+3)(x+2) = 0
-----------------------
x = -3 or x = -2
