begin mathsize 16px style Given space quadratic space equation equals px squared minus 14 straight x plus 8 equals 0
Here comma space straight a equals straight p comma space straight b equals negative 14 comma space straight c equals 8
Let space one space root space of space the space given space equation space be space straight alpha.
rightwards double arrow Other space root equals 6 straight alpha
Now comma space sum space of space the space roots equals negative straight b over straight a
rightwards double arrow straight alpha plus 6 straight alpha equals negative fraction numerator left parenthesis negative 14 right parenthesis over denominator straight p end fraction
Solving comma space straight p equals 2 over straight alpha
Product space of space roots equals straight c over straight a
rightwards double arrow straight alpha cross times 6 straight alpha equals 8 over straight p
rightwards double arrow straight p equals fraction numerator 4 over denominator 3 straight alpha squared end fraction
rightwards double arrow fraction numerator 4 over denominator 3 straight alpha squared end fraction equals 2 over straight alpha
rightwards double arrow straight alpha equals 2 over 3
rightwards double arrow straight p equals 3 end style
