  • Question
  • One root of the quadratic equation x2 - 5 x + 6 = 0 is 3. Find the other root.


  • Options
  • A. 2
  • B. ?2
  • C. 1
  • D. ?1

  • Correct Answer


  • Explanation

    The given equation is
    x2 - 5x + 6 = 0 ? x 2 - 2x - 3x+ 6 = 0
    ? x( x - 2 ) - 3( x - 2 ) = 0
    ? ( x - 2 ) ( x - 3 ) = 0
    ? x - 2 = 0 or x - 3 = 0
    ? x = 2 or x = 3
    Thus, the other root of the given quadratic equation is 2.
