Jimmy is trying to factor the quadratic equation $ax^2 + bx + c = 0.$ He assumes that it will factor in the form \[ax^2 + bx + c

= (Ax + B)(Cx + D),\]where $A,$ $B,$ $C,$ and $D$ are integers. If $a = 4,$ and Jimmy wants to find the value of $A,$ what are the possible values he should check, in order to find $A$?

Answer:

possible value of A are 1, 2, 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Jimmy is trying to factor the quadratic equation ax^2 + bx + c = 0.

He assumes that it will factor in the form ax^2 + bx + c = (Ax + B)(C x + D)

Given a=4

We need to find the value of A

When we do factoring we use the factors of the numbers

(Ax+B)(Cx+D) is ACx^2 + ADx + BCx + BD

ax^2 + bx + c =ACx^2 + ADx + BCx + BD

When a=4  then AC is also 4

A* C = 4

1 * 4= 4

2 * 2= 4

4 * 1 = 4

So possible value of A are 1, 2, 4

If

ax^2+bx+c=(Ax+B)(Cx+D)

then

ax^2+bx+c=ACx^2+(AD+BC)x+BD

\implies a=AC

If a is known and Jimmy wants to find A, then he has to know the value of C.

Two cyclists, 112 miles apart, start riding toward each other at the same time. One cycles 3 times as fast as the other, and the
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Speed of a= 21 miles/hr

r = Speed of b= 7 miles/hr

Speed of a = 3r

Step-by-step explanation:

The cyclist are 112 miles apart

Time traveled by two = 4 hours

Speed of a = 3 * speed of b

If a cylcles 3 times More than b, then a will cover 3*distance of b

But speed = distance/time

Time = 4hours

Total distance=112

a = 3b

3b + b = 112

4b = 112

b = 112/4

b = 28 miles

a = 3b

a = 3*28

a = 84 Miles

They bought traveled 4 hours

Speed of a = 84miles/4 hours

Speed of a= 21 miles/hr

Speed of b = 28miles/4 hours

Speed of b = 7 miles/hr
