Question

(1) The discriminant of the equation
2x2 - 7x + p = 0 is 33.
The value of 'p' can be calculated as:
Here a= 00
; b=;c=
62 - 4ac =
But, b2 - 4ac = 33 ....(2)
from (1) and (2)
= 33
= 16​

Answer 1

Answer:

p=2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x²-7x+p=0

a=2, b=(-7), c=p

discriminant=33

b²-4ac=33

(-7)²-4(2)(p)=33

49-8p=33

(-8p)=33-49

(-8p)=(-16)

8p=16

p=16/8

p=2
