$if$ $ h+k=2016$
and all roots of $ x^2+hx+k=0$ are both integers
find its solutions
and all roots of $ x^2+hx+k=0$ are both integers
find its solutions
The equation \( h + k = 2016 \) is established as a constraint for the quadratic equation \( x^2 + hx + k = 0 \) to have integer roots. By applying Vieta's formulas, it is concluded that the roots can be expressed as \( r_1 \) and \( r_2 \), where \( r_1 + r_2 = -h \) and \( r_1 r_2 = k \). The integer nature of the roots leads to the derivation of specific pairs \( (h, k) \) that satisfy both conditions, resulting in multiple valid solutions such as \( (2016, 0) \) and \( (0, 2016) \).
