quadratic

OpenStudy (aravindg):

The value of p for which both of the roots of the equation 4x^2-20px+(25p^2+15p-66)=0 are less than 2,lies in interval?

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

Well we have two real roots in the interval\[\left({1 \over 10}(-3-\sqrt{673}), \;\;{1 \over 10}(3-\sqrt{673}) \right)\]

OpenStudy (aravindg):

hmm ..i need the method of getting the interval

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

To have a real root, we need the discriminant to be positive, in this case the discriminant is \[20^2 -4(25p^2+15p-66)\]If you use the quadratic formula on this you find p has to be in the interval I posted above.

OpenStudy (aravindg):

@amistre64 , @phi , @Ishaan94

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

Now we need to check which roots are less than 2.

OpenStudy (aravindg):

hw?

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

Not sure how to do that yet. I'll keep trying.

OpenStudy (experimentx):

is it even possible?? 20/8 +- discriminant

OpenStudy (aravindg):

its possible

OpenStudy (experimentx):

for both root to be less than 2 ... since one discriminant will be positive.

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

I'm going to agree with experimentX. I can't find any values of p that would work.

OpenStudy (aravindg):

hmmmmmmmmm
