The value of p if the pair of equations may have one root common is 1.
<h3>What are the
roots of the equation?</h3>
Let the equation be ax² + bx + c = 0.
Then the roots of the equation will be

The equations are given below.
2x² + px - 1 = 0 and 3x² - 2x - 5 = 0
The roots of the equation 3x² - 2x - 5 = 0 will be
3x² - 5x + 3x - 5 = 0
(3x - 5)(x + 1) = 0
x = -1, 5/3
At x = -1, the value of p will be
2(-1)² + p(-1) - 1 = 0
2 - p - 1 = 0
p = 1
The value of p if the pair of equations may have one root common is 1.

To determine the sum of the arithmetic series, simply remember that i is the pattern that you are going by which is 1,2,3.
The top value on the sigma sign tells you the final value that you must go to.
So use the equation to go from 1 to 18. So it would be 2(1) + 9 + 2(2) + 9 etc.
