A curve is such that when y = 0, x = – 2 or x = 3. Find the equation of the curve.

Option A: 

$y={{x}^{2}}-5x-6$

Option B: 

$y={{x}^{2}}+5x-6$

Option C: 

$y={{x}^{2}}+x-6$

Option D: 

$y={{x}^{2}}-x-6$

waecmaths solution: 

$\begin{align}  & y=(x+2)(x-3) \\ & y={{x}^{2}}-3x+2x-6 \\ & y={{x}^{2}}-x-6 \\\end{align}$
