louar iulll the puLHt BI3, p and C(p, 5), then find the valueof p.5. If the quadratic equation px2-2/5px +15 0 has two equal roota, then find thevalue of p. |

Answer» Equal rootsmeans D= 0b^2= 4ac Compare px² -2√5 px + 15 = 0 with ax² + bx + c = 0 a = p , b = -2√5 , c = 15 We know that , If the roots of the quadratic equation are equal , then it's discriminant (D) equals to zero. D = 0 b² - 4ac = 0 ( -2√5 p )² - 4×p ×15 = 0 20p² - 60p = 0 20p( p - 3)= 0 Therefore , 20p = 0 or ( p- 3 ) = 0 p = 0 or p = 3 I hope this helps you |
