Question

find the value of p so that the equation 3x2 - 5x = 2p = 0 has equal roots. also find the roots.

Answer 1

Explanation:

In the International System of Units (SI), the unit of power is the watt (W), which is equal to one joule per second.

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of p so that the equation 3x²-5x-2p=0 has equal roots is -25/24 and the root is 5/6.

Given equation is 3x²-5x-2p=0.

We have to find the value of p so that the equation has equal roots.

For a quadratic equation to have equal roots b²-4ac should be equal to zero in the quadratic equation ax²+bx+c=0.

Now comparing the equation with the standard equation ax²+bx+c=0 , we get

a=3 , b=-5 , c=-2p

Now, b²-4ac = 0 as the equation has equal roots

(-5)²-4(3)(-2p)=0

25+24p=0

p = -25/24

Now the quadratic equation becomes 3x²-5x+25/12=0.

.

Root of the equation is=6/5
