Terms that Add To M and Multiply to N - with Negatives (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on solving algebraic functions, specifically finding pairs of integers that satisfy given conditions for their sum and product, including problems that involve negative numbers. These problems are a practical exercise in understanding the relationships between polynomial roots and coefficients, particularly within the context of quadratic equations. This type of problem-solving is foundational in the broader study of polynomials and quadratic functions. Each question presents a specific sum and product which learners must use to identify the correct pair of integers.
