उत्तर

The quadratic equation given is (2p + 1)x2 – (7p + 2)x + (7p – 3) = 0

Comparing with ax² + bx + c = 0, we have

a = 2p + 1, b = -(7p + 2), c = (7p - 3)

D = b2 - 4ac

⇒ 0 = [-(7p + 2)]2 -4(2p + 1)(7p - 3)

0 = 49p2 + 4 + 28p - 4(14p2 - 6p + 7p - 3)

0 = 49p2 + 4 + 28p - 56p2 - 4p + 12

0 = -7p2 + 24p + 16

0 = -7p2 + 28p - 4p + 16

0 = -7p(p - 4) -4(p - 4)

0 = (-7p - 4)(p - 4)

⇒ -7p - 4 = 0 or p - 4 = 0

Hence, the value of p = `(-4)/(7)` or p = 4.
