Find $p$, if quadratic equation $py( y-2)+6=0$ has equal roots.
Given: Quadratic equation $py( y-2)+6=0$ has perfect square.
To do: To find the value of $p$.
Solution:
Given: $py( y-2)+6=0$
$\Rightarrow py^2-2py+6=0$
$a=p,\ b=-2p$ and $c=6$
For equal roots $b^2-4ac=0$
$\Rightarrow ( -2p)^2-4\times p\times 6$
$\Rightarrow 4p^2-24p=0$
$\Rightarrow 4p( p-6)=0$
$\Rightarrow 4p=0$ and $p-6=0$
$\Rightarrow p=0$ and $p=6$.
