Answer:
p = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Let one root of the eqn. be alpha . Other root is 1/alpha .
We know that product of both roots of an quadratic eqn. is c/a where "c" is the co-efficient of the constant & "a" is the co-efficient of x^2.
Here "c" is p-4 & "a" is 4. And the product of roots is 1 ( ∵ prdouct of a number and its reciprocal is 1 )

This can be solver by creating a small equation with x being the number and solving for x. The equation would be 8 + 2( x + 3 ) = -6
Solve for x:
8 + 2( x + 3 ) = -6
Distribute the 2
8+ (2x+6)=-6
Subtract 8
2x+6= -14
Add 6
2x= 8
Divide by 2
x=4
So the number you are looking for is 4
I hope this helps!

Answer: Choice A</h3>
is not the same as 
The base of the log is p, while the base of the exponential is b. The two don't match. If it said
then it would be a valid statement since the bases are both p.
-----------------
Extra info:
Choice B is a valid statement because Ln is a natural log with base 'e'
Choice C is valid as any square root is really something to the 1/2 power
Choice D is valid for similar reasons mentioned earlier
-y = -x + 16
y = x - 16
Slope = 1
