Answer: The required solution set of the given quadratic equation is {-11, 0}.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the solution set for the following quadratic equation :


-p^2-11p=0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

Since there is no constant term, so the solution of equation (i) can be found simply as follows :


-p^2-11p=0\\\\\Rightarrow -p(p+11)=0\\\\\Rightarrow -p=0,~~~p+11=0\\\\\Rightarrow p=0,~-11.

Thus, the required solution set of the given quadratic equation is {-11, 0}.
