Question 1
Let . The equation f(x)=0 has two equal roots.
Question (a)
(a)
Write down the value of the discriminant.
[ 1 ]
Question (b)
(b)
Hence, show that p=3.
[ 2 ]
Question (c)
(c)
Write down the solution of f(x)=0.
[ 1 ]
Let f(x)=3x2−6x+p. The equation f(x)=0 has two equal roots.
Write down the value of the discriminant.
correct value 0 , or 36−12pA2
Hence, show that p=3.
correct equation which clearly leads to p=3A1
eg 36−12p=0,36=12p
p=3
