Question

3p2-10p+8=0
slove the equation​

Answer 1

p=2 and p=4/3

Explanation:

3p² - 10p + 8 =0, a = 3, b = - 10, c = 8

We can use quadratic formula

p = ( - b +/- √(b² - 4ac))/2a

p = ( 10 +/- √(10² - 4*3*8))/2*3

p1 = ( 10 + √(100 - 96))/2*3 = (10 + 2)/6 = 2

p2 = ( 10 - √(100 - 96))/2*3 = (10 - 2)/ 6 = 8/6 = 4/3
