Question

In the expression (ax+b)*(cx^2+dx+e), find two set of values of a,b,c,d and e so that the coefficient of x^3and x terms after expansion are 4and 10 respectively.

Answer 1

2, 0, 2, 3, 5

1, 2, 4, 0, 5

Explanation:

(ax + b)(cx² + dx + e)

acx³ + adx² + aex + bcx² + bdx + be

2(2)x³ + 2(3)x² + 2(5)x + 0 + 0 + 0

4x³ + 6x² + 10x

a = 2

b = 0

c = 2

d = 3

e = 5

1(4)x³ + 1(0)x² + 1(10)x + 2(4)x² + 0 + 10

4x³ + 8x² + 10x + 10

a = 1

b = 2

c = 4

d = 0

e = 5
