I hope that this is the correct answer

Answer 2

Answer:

p = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since our zeroes are:
a,b

a + b = 17/p
a*b = 10/p

Now a = 15/2b, substitute it in our sum of zeroes
15/2b + b = 17/p
17/2b = 17/p

Try the same for multiplication of zeroes:
15/2b*b =15/2b^2 = 10/p

Now we have two cases lets divide em:
(17/2b)/(15/2b*b) = (17/p)/(10/p)

17/15b = 17/10
b = 10/15 = 2/3
substitute this in our previous equations:
a*b = 17/2*2/3 = 17/p

17/3 = 17/p
so p is equal to 3
