Question

Quesuon 10 of 10

Answer 1

Answer:

(p, q) is (2, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

x^2  + 3x - 10

Factorize;

x^2 + 5x - 2x - 10

x(x+5) - 2(x+5)

(x-2)(x+5)

Comparing with (x + p)(x + 9).

x+2 = x+ p

x-x+2 = p

2 = p

p = 2

Similarly;

x+5 = x+q

x-x+5 = q

5 = q

q=  5

Hence (p, q) is (2, 5)
