Answer:
We know that while finding the root of a quadratic equation
ax
2
+bx+c=0 by quadratic formula x=
2a
−b±
b
2
−4ac
,
if b
2
−4ac>0, then the roots are real and distinct
if b
2
−4ac=0, then the roots are real and equal and
if b
2
−4ac<0, then the roots are imaginary.
Here, the given quadratic equation x
2
−px+9=0 is in the form ax
2
+bx+c=0 where a=1,b=−p and c=9.
It is given that the roots are equal, therefore b
2
−4ac=0 that is:
We have, b
2
−4ac=0
⇒(−p)
2
−(4×1×9)=0
⇒p
2
−36=0
⇒p
2
=36
⇒p=±
36
⇒p=±6
Hence, p=±6
