+(a+b)x+ab=(x+a)(x+b). To find a and b, set up a system to be solved.
a+b=−4
ab=4
Since ab is positive, a and b have the same sign. Since a+b is negative, a and b are both negative. List all such integer pairs that give product 4.
−1,−4
−2,−2
Calculate the sum for each pair.
−1−4=−5
−2−2=−4
The solution is the pair that gives sum −4.
a=−2
b=−2
Rewrite factored expression (x+a)(x+b) using the obtained values.
(x−2)(x−2)
Rewrite as a binomial square.
(x−2)

We have that an inverse variation in a function is given by:
We must find the value of the constant k.
To do this, we substitute the values of x1 = 12, y1 = 15.
We have then:
Clearing k we have:
Substituting the value of k we have that the inverse variation is:
For y2 = 3 we have:
Clearing x2 we have:
