Find the value of `m` for which the expressiion `12x^(2)-10xy+2y^(2)+11x-5y+m` can be resolved into two rational linear factors. |
Answer» Comparing the given expression with `ax^(2)+2hxy+by^(2)_2gx+2fy+c`, we have `a=12, h=-5, b=2, g=11/2,f=(-5/2),c=m` The given expression will have two linear factors if and only if `abc+2fgh-af^(2)-bg^(2)-ch^(2)=0` or `(12)(2)(m)(-5/2)(11/2)(-5)-(12)(-5/2)^(2)` `-(2)(11/2)^(2)-(m)(-5)^(2)=0` `implies24m+275/2-75-121/2-25m=0` or `m-2` |
