The roots of the function are -1 and \(\frac{1}{3}\) sum of roots = -1 + \(\frac{1}{3}\) = -\(\frac{2}{3}\) product of roots = -1 x \(\frac{1}{3}\) = -\(\frac{1}{3}\) \(x^2\) - (sum of roots)x + (product of roots) = 0 \(x^2\) - (-\(\frac{2}{3}\))x + (-\(\frac{1}{3}\)) = 0 \(x^2\) + \(\frac{2x}{3}\) - \(\frac{1}{3}\) = 0 3\(x^2\) + 2x - 1 = 0( multiple through by -1 since the graph of the quadratic equation is maximum) 1 - 2x - 3\(x^2\).
