If p and q are zeroes of the polynomial $\displaystyle \mathrm{p}(\mathrm{y})=21 \mathrm{y}^{2}-\mathrm{y}-2$, then find the value of $\displaystyle (1-\mathrm{p}) .(1-\mathrm{q})$.
Marking-scheme solution
\[\begin{aligned}
& p+q=\frac{1}{21} \\
& p \cdot q=\frac{-2}{21} \\
& \begin{aligned}
(1-p)(1-q) & =1-(p+q)+p q \\
& =1-\frac{1}{21}-\frac{2}{21} \\
& =\frac{18}{21} \text { or } \frac{6}{7}
\end{aligned}
\end{aligned}
