If the factors are a and b then we can create the equation as :
Here we are given the solutions as 1 and -1.
Let us plug them in the above equation and try to make an equation using it.
let a=1 and b=-1
So we have,
Simplifying,
Answer:
The equation with solutions 1 and -1 is:
Answer:
The ideal mechanical advantage (IMA) is .
Step-by-step explanation:
The ideal mechanical advantage is the ratio of length of longer lever to that of shorter lever
IMA
Please refer to the image attached.
We could see that the the resistance load moves cm towards the fulcrum so the distance of resistance load from fulcrum
Now the as the effort force moves towards the fulcrum overall distance from the fulcrum to the effort force (load)
Plugging the values of the distances in IMA formula we can have.
IMA .
So the IMA of the fulcrum (simple machine)
