Let's factor the following polynomial to find the roots: x2-13x + q = 0 Factoring we have: (x-12.5) * (x + a) Where, -12.5 + a = -13 a = -13 + 12.5 a = -0.5 We now look for the coefficient q: q = -12.5 * a q = -12.5 * (- 0.5) q = 6.25 The polynomial will then be: x2-13x + 6.25 = 0 Its roots are: x1 = 12.5 x2 = 0.5 Answer: The other root and the value of the coefficient are: 0.5 and 6.25 (Respectively)
