1.) If the roots of the quadratic equation x(sq)+bx+24=0 are integers, find the possible values of b.
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + bx + 24 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Integer roots have to be factors of 24.
\n" ); document.write( "eg, 1 & 24 --> (x-1)*(x-24) = 0 --> b = -25
\n" ); document.write( "2 & 12 --> (x-2)*(x-12) = 0 --> b = -14
\n" ); document.write( "-2 & -12 --> (x+2)*(x+12) = 0 --> b = +14
\n" ); document.write( "etc \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
