Question 375106: I hope someone can help me with this.... The problem asks, "Write a guadratic equation in the variable x having the given numbers as solutions. Type the equation in standard form, ax^2+bx+c=0 (Solution 4, only solution)
The equation is ____________=0 Found 2 solutions by Alan3354, solver91311:Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
If 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)
So, assume that both roots are 4 and calculate:
