You can put this solution on YOUR website!

and

are solutions of

, then

and

must be factors of

. All quadratic equations have two roots, so if you are only given one rational solution either one of two situations must be true: 1. Both of the solutions are the same number, or 2. You can't solve the problem. (If you are only given one irrational or complex root, then the other must be its conjugate, but if the root you are given is rational and the other root is different there is no way to determine it)\r
