f(x)= A(x+i)(x-i)(x-3)(x-4)
\n" ); document.write( "f(x)= A(x^2+i^2)(x^2-4x-3x+12)
\n" ); document.write( "f(x)= A(x^2+1)(x^2-7x+12)
\n" ); document.write( "_______________________________\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "f(1)=24
\n" ); document.write( "f(1)=A((1^2+1)(1^2-7(1)+12))
\n" ); document.write( "f(1)=A(1+1)(1-7+12)
\n" ); document.write( "f(1)=A(2)(6)
\n" ); document.write( "f(1)=A(12)=24\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "A(12)=24
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by 12 to get A by itself\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "A=2
