The given equation is:
x2 - x + k = 0
As it is given that 3 is root of the equation x2 - x + k = 0, therefore we have:
(3)2 - 3 + k = 0
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} 9 - 3 + k = 0
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} 6 + k = 0
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} k = - 6
For p = - 6 the other given equation becomes:
x2 - 6(2x - 6 + 2) + p = 0
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} x2 -12x + 24 + p = 0
This is the form of ax2 + bx + c = 0,
where a = -1, b = -12 and c = 24 + p
Since the given equation has equal roots, therefore D = 0.
i.e., b2 - 4ac = 0
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} (-12)2 - 4(1)(24 + p) = 0
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} 144 - 96 - 4p = 0
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} 48 - 4p = 0
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} 4p = 48
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} p = 12
Hence, the value of p is 12.
