    Ans : If quadratic eq is of form aX^2 + bX + c = 0, so X^2 + b/a X + c/a = 0 then

    Sum of roots = 10 = - b / a so b / a = 10

    Product of roots = 25 + 2 = 27 = c / a

    So quadratic eq is X^2 + 10 X + 27 = 0

    If r is a root of f(x), then (x - r) is a factor of f(x). That is, if r1 and r2 are the only roots of f(x), then f(x) = a(x - r1)(x - r2), where a is any nonzero real number.

    r1 = 5 + i√2

    r2 = 5 - i√2

    f(x) = a(x - 5 - i√2)(x - 5 + i√2)

    f(x) = a(x^2 - 10x + 27)
