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.

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

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.
