Find the product of all positive integer values of $c$ such that $3x^2+7x+c=0$ has two real roots.
Find the product of all positive integer values of c such that 3x^2+7x+c=0 has two real roots.
Hello Lightning!
\(3x^2+7x+c=0.\)
\(x = {-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} \over 2a}\\ x = {-7 \pm \sqrt{7^2-4*3c} \over 2*3}\\ x ={ -7 \pm \sqrt{49-12c} \over 6}\)
There are only two real roots if 12c < 49.
\(c \in\{1,2,3,4\}\)
The product is 4! = 24
