Write a quadratic function f(m)=m2+bm+cf(m) = m^2 + bm + c with roots at 18 and PP.

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. The leading coefficient of the quadratic function is 1.
2. The roots of the quadratic function are 18 and P P .
3. The quadratic function is in the form f(m)=am2+bm+c f(m) = am^2 + bm + c , where a=1 a = 1 .

STEP 2

The roots of a quadratic function f(m)=m2+bm+c f(m) = m^2 + bm + c can be used to write the function in its factored form as follows:
f(m)=(mroot1)(mroot2) f(m) = (m - root_1)(m - root_2)

STEP 3

Substitute the given roots into the factored form of the quadratic function.
f(m)=(m18)(mP) f(m) = (m - 18)(m - P)

STEP 4

Expand the factored form to get the quadratic function in standard form.
f(m)=m2Pm18m+18P f(m) = m^2 - Pm - 18m + 18P

STEP 5

Combine like terms to simplify the expression.
f(m)=m2(P+18)m+18P f(m) = m^2 - (P + 18)m + 18P

STEP 6

The quadratic function with the leading coefficient 1 and roots 18 and P P is:
f(m)=m2(P+18)m+18P f(m) = m^2 - (P + 18)m + 18P
