One root=1-p
Let the second root=x
so,Sum of zeroes
one root+second root = -b/a
1-p+x= -p/1
1-p+x= -p
x= -p+p-1
-p and +p get cancelled
x= -1
so,Second root of this quadratic equation -1

Answer:
given the root is x=(1-p)
then (1-p)²+(1-p)p+(1-p)=0
(1-p)[1-p+p+1]=0
1-p=0
p=1
then equation becomes
x²+x=0
x(x+1)=0
then x=(0,-1)
