Question 332805: write a quadratic equation in the variable x having the given number as solution type the quation in standard form ax^2+bx+c=0 solution is 1, only solution Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
1 cannot be the only solution. All quadratics have 2 solutions. The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra says it, I believe it, that settles it. Hence, the other must be 1 also. If is a solution of a polynomial equation, then must be a factor of the polynomial. Having two solutions equal to 1, you must have two factors equal to . Multiply the two factors and put the result in standard form.
