Question

This is due in an hour so i’d appreciate any help. :))

Answer 1

Positive one would be a solution, so when you factor it it would be (x-1)(x-1)
—> both solutions being 1, and this works because on a graph it can hit the same spot twice

Or negative three, and when you factor it would be (x-3)(x+1)
—> one solution being 3, and another being -1

So m could be -3 or 1

That’s all I can think of hope that helped!

Answer 2

Answer: m < 1

x² - 2x + m = 0 (*)

a = 1 b = -2 c = m

Δ = b² - 4ac = 4 - 4m

(*) has 2 district real solutions => Δ > 0

⇔ 4 - 4m > 0

⇔ 4m < 4

⇔ m < 1
