The numbers 44 and −7-7 are the zeros of a polynomial. (i) Write the polynomial of least possible degree having these zeros in factored form. (ii) Expand the polynomial obtained in part (i) to express it in standard form ax2+bx+cax^{2}+bx+c. (iii) Verify that the sum and the product of the zeros calculated from your polynomial agree with the relationships between coefficients and zeros for a quadratic.
