Question 819255
<pre>
Presuming your answer is
*[tex \large \frac{-2\,\pm\,\sqrt{19}}{3}]
then your answer is correct.

I suspect the book answer is a misprint UNLESS the problem was actually

*[tex \large 3p^2\ -\ 4p\ =\ 5] or perhaps even *[tex \large 3p^2\ =\ 4p\ +\ 5]

in which case *[tex \large \frac{2\,\pm\,\sqrt{19}}{3}] is indeed correct.
