Question

    If x² + px + q = 0 has roots 4 and -3, find the values

    of p and q.
    A p = -1, q = -12 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B p = -1, q = 12 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C p = 1, q = 12 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D p = 1, q = -12 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Sum of roots = -p. 4 + (-3) = 1. p = -1. Product of roots = q. 4 × (-3) = -12. q = -12. Correct option: a) p = -1, q = -12
