SOLUTION: If p and q are roots of polynomial equation x^2+x+q=0,then A) p=-1 and q=0 B) p=1 and q=-2 Which condition is true A or B

Question 1050824: If p and q are roots of polynomial equation x^2+x+q=0,then A) p=-1 and q=0 B) p=1 and q=-2
Which condition is true A or B
Answer by josgarithmetic(39617) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
p AND q are the two roots

(A)
p=-1,q=0

Which conditions true?
No problems and no conflicts. Many things may be true. p and q are real roots. Discriminant is greater than 0, as in .

(B)
p=1,q=-2
You can try the substitution and look for something similar in method as in A.

and simplifying and finding discriminant, this would be also greater than 0.

Using the general solution formula was not necessary. Factorizations were possible.
