Question Number 196450 by cortano12 last updated on 25/Aug/23
one solution of the equation (x−a)(x−b)(x−c)(x−d) = 9 is x=2. If a,b,c,d are different integers then a+b+c+d =?
$$\mathrm{one}\:\mathrm{solution}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{equation}\: \\ $$$$\:\left(\mathrm{x}−\mathrm{a}\right)\left(\mathrm{x}−\mathrm{b}\right)\left(\mathrm{x}−\mathrm{c}\right)\left(\mathrm{x}−\mathrm{d}\right)\:=\:\mathrm{9}\: \\ $$$$\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{x}=\mathrm{2}.\:\mathrm{If}\:\mathrm{a},\mathrm{b},\mathrm{c},\mathrm{d}\:\mathrm{are}\:\mathrm{different}\: \\ $$$$\:\mathrm{integers}\:\mathrm{then}\:\mathrm{a}+\mathrm{b}+\mathrm{c}+\mathrm{d}\:=?\: \\ $$

(x−a)(x−b)(x−c)(x−d) = 9 x=2 x=2 (2−a)(2−b)(2−c)(2−d)=9 a,b,c,d are different integers ⇒2−a,2−b,2−c,2−d are different integers. • 9=1×−1×3×−3 [Order no matters] 2−a=1⇒a=1 2−b=−1⇒b=3 2−c=3⇒c=−1 2−d=−3⇒d=5 a+b+c+d=8✓
