The equation: px^2 + 4x + 1=0. The roots are real if the discriminant is zero or positive. So, 4^2 - 4p >= 0 (>= means greater than or equal to). => p is smaller than or equal to 4. Answer: p must be equal to 4 or smaller.

Two numbers are in the ratio 5:6. If 8 is subtracted from each of the numbers, the ratio becomes 4 : 5. Find the numbers?
Let numbers are 5x and 6x (5x-8)/ (6x-8) = (4/5) => 5(5x-8)= 4(6x-8) => 25x-40 = 24x-32 => 25x-24x= 40-32 => x= 8 Two numbers are 5x 8= 40 and 6x8 = 48
