The answer would be because
21 = 3.7
35 = 5.7
probably the factors have 3.5.7
= 105
let's try :
1 . 105
3 . 35
5 . 21
7 . 15
Yep, correct.
We know that
x²+px−35=0-------> <span>has one root that is equal to 7
so
substitute x=7 in the equation
</span>7²+p*7−35=0
49+p*7−35=0
14+p*7=0
p=-14/7------> p=-2
the answer Part a) is
t<span>he value of the coefficient p is -2
</span>
Part b) <span>Find the other root
</span>x²+px−35=0-----> x²-2x−35=0
<span>
using a graph tool-------> to resolve the second order equation
see the attached figure
the other root is
x=-5
the answer part b) is</span>
the value of the other root is -5<span>
</span>
You have to separate the 2 and p so divide 60 by 2 which will leave p=30 and now if you plug it in you see 2 times 30 equals 60 :)
