Correct Question
p+q = 1 and pq = - 20 . what are the values of p and q.
Given :-
p+q = 1 ---- (i)
pq = -20
=> p = -20/q
Substitute the value of p in equation (i)
p+q = 1
=> -20/q + q = 1
=> -20+q²/q = 1
=> -20 + q² = q
=> q²-q-20 = 0
=> q²-5q+4q-20 = 0
=> q(q-5)+4(q-5) = 0
=> (q-5) (q+4) = 0
Either
q = 5
or
q = -4
Substitute the both value of q in equation (i)
p+q = 1
p+5 = 1
p = -4
or
p + q = 1
p-4 = 1
p = 5
