Question
Important Reminders
Solution
Actually we could have multiplied by -4 or any
multiple of 4 for that matter, but this is the set of integer
solutions for which a is the least positive.
For part (b), if we can solve the first equation easily, then the roots
of the second equation can be obtained by just squaring your answers. However, the LHS of the first equation cannot
be factorised nicely, so we might as well use the quadratic formula to solve the second equation directly.
