Answer:

[tex]2x^2+12x+10=0[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

When you have the roots r1, r2 and the leading coefficient a of a quadratic equation, its factorization is

a(x - r1)(x - r2)

and the quadratic equation would be

a(x - r1)(x - r2) = 0

In this case r1 = -1, r2 = -5 and a = 2, so the quadratic equation is

[tex]\large 2(x-(-1))(x-(-5))=0\Rightarrow 2(x+1)(x+5)=0\Rightarrow\\\\\Rightarrow2(x^2+5x+x+5)=0\Rightarrow2(x^2+6x+5)=0\Rightarrow\\\\\boxed{2x^2+12x+10=0}[/tex]
