Answer:

  • The value of p is ≥4 or ≥-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Question:

  • If the quadratic equation, 2x²+px+2 = 0 have real roots, then find the value of p.

Given that:

  • 2x²+px+2 = 0 have real roots​

To find:

  • The value of p

As the nature of roots are real, there are two cases:

  • Discriminant is greater than 0
  • Discriminant = 0

In general, we can write that:

  • D ≥ 0

In the following equation,

  • b = p
  • a = 2
  • c = 2

Applying Discriminant Formula:

\:\:⇒D = b²-4ac ≥ 0

\:\:⇒p²-4×2×2 ≥ 0

\:\:⇒p²-16 ≥ 0

\:\:⇒p² ≥ 16

\:\:⇒p ≥ √16

\:\:⇒p ≥ ±4

Final Answer:

  • The value of p is ≥4 or ≥-4
