Answer:
B
Explanation:
Given
= 6 +
( multiply through by (t - 2)²
1 = 6(t - 2)² + t - 2 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify
1 = 6(t² - 4t + 4) + t - 2
1 = 6t² - 24t + 24 + t - 2
1 = 6t² - 23t + 22 ( subtract 1 from both sides )
6t² - 23t + 21 = 0 ← in standard form
(2t - 3)(3t - 7) = 0 → in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for t
2t - 3 = 0 ⇒ 2t = 3 ⇒ t =
← p
3t - 7 = 0 ⇒ 3t = 7 ⇒ t =
← q
Thus
p × q =
×

=
→ B
