px² + 3x + q = 0
Take x=1,
p×1² + 3×1 + q = 0
p + 3 +q = 0
p + q = -3 ------(1)
Take x=2,
p×2² + 3×2 + q = 0
4p + 6 + q = 0
4p + q = -6 -------(2)
p + q = -3 --------(1)
4p + q = -6 --------(2)
________________
-3p + 0 = 3
p =
p = -1
Substitute p = -1
p + q = -3
-1 + q = -3
q = -3 + 1
q = -2
Therefore,
p = -1
q = -2
Hope it helps you.
