Question

If 2, 3 are the roots of x² +px +q=0, then the values of p and q are: (a) -5,6 (b) 6,5 (c)-6, 5 (d) -5, 6​

Answer 1

Answer:

a

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 2,3 are roots of the quadratic equation. Therefore (x-2)(x-3)=0

$x {}^{2} - 3x - 2x + 6 = 0 \\ x {}^{2} - 5x + 6 = 0$

Comparing the above equation with

$x {}^{2} + px + q = 0$

We get p=-5 and q=6

Hence, option (a) is correct
