Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If the roots of the equation x² + 7x + p = 0 are -3 and -4, find the value of p. (2019)
  • Step 1: Identify the given quadratic equation, which is x² + 7x + p = 0.
  • Step 2: Recognize that the roots of the equation are given as -3 and -4.
  • Step 3: Recall the property of quadratic equations that states the product of the roots (r1 and r2) is equal to p.
  • Step 4: Calculate the product of the roots: (-3) * (-4).
  • Step 5: Perform the multiplication: (-3) * (-4) = 12.
  • Step 6: Conclude that the value of p is 12.
  • Quadratic Equations – Understanding the relationship between the coefficients and the roots of a quadratic equation.
  • Vieta's Formulas – Using Vieta's formulas to relate the sum and product of the roots to the coefficients of the polynomial.
