Find the value of p, for which one root of the quadratic equation px2 14x + 80 is 6 times the other.and 3, 10,

Answer»

px^2-14x+8=0let a and b be the roots of the equationb=6asum of roots = -b/aproduct of roots = c/ahere a=p , b=-14 , c=8a+b=14/pab=8/p

a+6a=14/p7a=14/pa=2/p

a*6a=8/p6a^2=8/p3a^2=4/p

3*(2/p)^2=4/p

3*4/p^2=4/p

p=3
