Find the value of p so that the quadratic equation px(x – 3) + 9 = 0 has two equal roots

Answer»

Step-by-step EXPLANATION:

px(x - 3) + 9 = 0 \\ p {x}^{2}  - 3px + 9 = 0 \\ For  \: two  \: equal \: roots \\ D = 0 \\  {b}^{2}  - 4ac = 0 \\ where \: b =  - 3p \:   , \: a = p \: and \: c = 9 \\  ({- 3p})^{2}  - 4 \times p \times 9 = 0 \\ 9 {p}^{2}  - 36p = 0 \\ 9p(p - 4) = 0 \\ p - 4 =  \frac{0}{9p}  \\ p - 4 = 0 \\ p = 4
