1 Find thevalues of m for which x^2+3xy+x+my-m has two linear factors in x and y with integer coefficients

2 The length of the sides of a triangle are integrals and it's area is also integer.one side is 21 and the perimeter is 48. Find the smallest side.

Dear Student,

For Q1.

From the given two degree equation, we can write that:
x²+ 3xy + x +my -m = (ax+by+c)(dx+e)
Now multiply the two factors on RHS and equate the coefficient on both the sides.

On compairing you will directly get the value of m.

Thanks.

For Q2:

If we consider x to be the shortest side, then other sides will be27-x, 21
Now,x+21 > 27-x or x > 3. (Sum of any two sides is greater then the third side)
And x < 27 - x or x < 14 (Since x is the samllest side)
Therefore, 3 <x<14.

Now apply Heron's Formula.

s = (a+b+c)/2 = 48/2 = 24

A = sqrt(24(24-x)(x-3)(3))
A = sqrt(72(x-3)(24-x))
A = 6sqrt(2(x-3)(24-x))

The possible values of x are from 4 to 13.
Only for x = 10 will give an integeral area.
Therefore the answer is 10.

Thanks

Three identical balls are placed on a frictionless horizontal surface touching each other. They stick to each other because of adhesive. Another ball of same radius and mass m is placed over the void created by the three balls. Find the forces applied by the balls kept on the floor to each other if the system remains in equilibrium.
