Urgent help
Please help me with these two questions
1. Find vaalues of the constants AmB and C in identity
4x2 - 18x +29 = A(x-4)2 - B (x-2) + C
2. The equation x2 + 3px + p = 0, where p is a non-zero constant and has equal roots. Find the value of p.

equal roots means the discriminant = 0
thus b²-4ac=0
I'm sure you can work out the rest ^-^
