1 ———— =3
= 6p2 – 3p + p2 p+2
= 7p2 – 3p 3p2 + 10p = 3(p + 2)
Answer: C 3p2 + 10p = 3p + 6
2
3p + 10p – 3p – 6 = 0
2 If p = –2 is a root of the equation 3p2 + 7p – 6 = 0
p2 – kp – 6 = 0, then we substitute p = –2 into (3p – 2)(p + 3) = 0
p2 – kp – 6 = 0 3p – 2 = 0 or p+3=0
2
(–2) – k(–2) – 6 = 0 3p = 2 p = –3
p =— 2

2
3x – 18x + 27 = 0
3(x2 – 6x + 9) = 0
3(x – 3)(x – 3) = 0
x–3= 0
