ELEMENTARY ALGEBRA EXERCISE BOOK I                                               equAtions




                                                                           5
               Solution: The equation system has no solution, then   3  =  m   = , thus  m =3n  and  4m  =5n .
                                                                 1    n    4
                                                     7
                                                               7
               Additionally since |m| = |3n| < 7, thus  − <n< . Since n is an integer, then n = −2, −1, 0, 1, 2,
                                                     3         3
               then m = −6, −3, 0, 3, 6. Hence, when m = −6,n = −2 or m = −3,n = −1 or m =0,n =0


               or m =3,n =1 or m =6,n =2, the original equation system has no solution.

                                              2
               2.9 Assume the equation  2x + x + a =0 has the solution set  A , and the equation
                  2
               2x + bx +2 = 0 has the solution set  B , and  A ∩ B = {1/2}, find  A ∪ B.
               Solution: Let  A = {1/2,x 1 },B = {1/2,x 2 } .

               Vieta’s formulas lead to  x 1 +1/2= −1/2,x 2 /2= 1 ⇒ x 1 = −1,x 2 =2.
               Hence,  A ∪ B = {1/2, −1}∪{1/2, 2} = {−1, 1/2, 2}.
