find the value of p in the quadratic equation p^2+13p-30=0?

Answer 1

p^2+13p-30=0

for this the first thing you gotta do is to FACTORISE:

so,
(p + 15)(p - 2) = 0

from the equation above you can deduce that:
p + 15 = 0
or,
p - 2 = 0

therefore, p = -15 or 2.

as simple as that. good luck and have fun with math!

Answer 2

p^2 + 13p - 30 = (p + 15)(p - 2)

p = -15 or 2

Answer 3

-15 and +2 ...

here's how to solve it:

1st, you have to factor them out (i find this easiest for this type of equation; there are other two ways: completing the square and quadratic formula), so the new equation looks like this:

(p+15)(p-2)=0

then, to solve for p, let p+15=0 and p-2=0, since the two factors are under a multiplication operation, and 0 multiplied by anthing will be equal to 0.

so, the p=-15 and p=2 ...

Answer 4

2 ^ 2 + 13 x 2 - 30 = 0

p = 2

Answer 5

p=*square root sign over30/13 divided by 2

Answer 6

(p+15)(p-2)=0
so p=-15 or 2
