We know that for a quadratic polynomial

a x^{2} + b x + c

product of the zeros=

\frac{c}{a}

Here,quadratic polynomial is

2 x^{2} + p x + 4

One root is

2

Let the other root be

a

Therefore,

2 \times a = \frac{4}{2}

=> a = 1

Therefore,

The other zero is

1

Also, sum of the zeros =

\frac{- b}{a}

=> 1 + 2 = \frac{- p}{2}

=> 3 \times 2 = - p

=> p = - 6

Therefore,

p = - 6

, other root

= 1
