PolynomialAndEquation VietaTheorem Basic

Problem - 2592
If one root of the equation $x^2 -6x+m^2-2m+5=0$ is $2$. Find the value of the other root and $m$.

By the Vieta's theorem, the sum of these two roots are 6. Hence the other root is $\boxed{4}$. Applying the Vieta's theorem again yields $$2\times 4 = m^2-2m+5 \implies m= \boxed{3, -1}$$
