Application +4 | -1

\left( {{x^2} - 3x + 2} \right)

is a factor of

{x^4} - p{x^2} + q = 0

, then the values of

p

and

q

are

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

5,\mathrm{ }4

Option B (

5,\;4

) is correct because if

(x^2 - 3x + 2)

is a factor, then x=1 and x=2 are roots, which can be substituted into the equation to solve for p and q.
