The coefficient of x in the eq iswas wrongly written as 17 in the place of 13 and the roots formed were -2 and -15. The roots of the correct eq. are ?Hint - we can do it by product and sum of roots, but I m unable to to...plz helpNo spamming ​

<P>Answer:

x = -3 or x = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN =>

coefficient of x² = 1

coefficient of x = 17 ( taken WRONGLY )

CONSTANT = q

roots of EQUATION = - 2 , - 15

=> we know , product of roots = constant/coefficient of x²

=> -2 × -15 = q / 1

=> 30 = q

now , the equation becomes =>

+ 13 x + 30 = 0

(given that , correct value of p = 13 )

=> x² + 13 x + 30 = 0

=> x² + 10x + 3x + 30 = 0

=> x ( x + 10 ) + 3 ( x + 10 ) = 0

=> ( x + 10 ) ( x + 3 ) = 0

so , EITHER ( x + 10 ) = 0

=> x = -10

or ( x + 3 ) = 0

=> x = -3
