\[\left\{ \begin{matrix} x^{2} + px + 1 = 0 \\ x_{1}^{2} + x_{2}^{2} = 254 \\ \end{matrix} \right.\ \text{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ }\]
\[\left\{ \begin{matrix} x_{1} + x_{2} = - p \\ x_{1}{\cdot x}_{2} = 1\ \ \ \ \\ \end{matrix} \right.\ \]
\[x_{1}^{2} + x_{2}^{2} = x_{1}^{2} + x_{2}^{2} +\]
\[+ 2x_{1}{\cdot x}_{2} - 2x_{1}{\cdot x}_{2} =\]
\[= \left( x_{1}{+ x}_{2} \right)^{2} - 2x_{1}{\cdot x}_{2} = 254\]
\[( - p)^{2} - 2 = 254\]
\[p^{2} = 256\]
\[p = \sqrt{256}\]
\[p = \pm 16\]
\[Ответ:\ p = \pm 16.\]
