If the equations x\(^2\) – 5x + 6 = 0 and x\(^2\) + px + 6 = 0 have the same roots, find the value of p.
- 5
- 6
-
-5
- -6
The correct answer is: C
Explanation
If "x" is the same for both equations, then they are equivalent.
(i.e., the equations have same roots), then the equations are equivalent.
Then p = -5
