Question

In the following you are given the product pq and the sum p+q determine p and q pq=-12 and p+q =11
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

pq=-12

so p=-12/q

now putting the value of p in the equation p+q=11 ...we get

-12/q+q=11

(-12+12q)/q=11

so

-12+12q=11q

12q-11q=12

q=12

so p=11-12

p=-1
