The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the quadratic equation formed by the given factors and determine how many such equations are possible. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the Factors**: The given factors of the quadratic equation are \( (x + \sqrt{3}) \) and \( (x - \sqrt{3}) \). 2. **Form the Quadratic Equation**: To form the quadratic equation from the factors, we multiply them: \[ (x + \sqrt{3})(x - \sqrt{3}) \] 3. **Apply the Difference of Squares Formula**: The multiplication of these factors can be simplified using the difference of squares formula: \[ (a + b)(a - b) = a^2 - b^2 \] Here, \( a = x \) and \( b = \sqrt{3} \). Thus, we have: \[ x^2 - (\sqrt{3})^2 = x^2 - 3 \] 4. **Write the Quadratic Equation**: The equation can now be written as: \[ x^2 - 3 = 0 \] 5. **Determine the Number of Equations**: Since the factors \( (x + \sqrt{3}) \) and \( (x - \sqrt{3}) \) uniquely determine the quadratic equation \( x^2 - 3 = 0 \), there is only one such quadratic equation possible. ### Conclusion: Thus, the number of such equations possible is **1**.
