The quadratic equation whose roots are 1 - \(\sqrt{13}\) and 1 + \(\sqrt{13}\) is?

A.

x2 + (1 - \(\sqrt{13}\)x + 1 + \(\sqrt{13}\) = 0

B.

x2 - 2x - 12 = 0

C.

x2 - 2x + 12 = 0

D.

x2 + 12 + 2x2 = 0

Correct answer is B

1 - \(\sqrt{13}\) and 1 + \(\sqrt{13}\)

sum of roots - \(1 + \sqrt{13} + 1 - \sqrt{13} = 2\)

Product of roots = (1 - \(\sqrt{13}\)) (1 + \(\sqrt{13}\)) = -12

x2 - (sum of roots) x + (product of roots) = 0

x2 - 2x - 12 = 0
