In this paper, we are concerned with the following quasilinear elliptic equation
where Ω ⊂ ℝN is a smooth domain with smooth boundary ∂Ω such that 0 ∈ Ω, Δpu = div(|∇u|p-2∇u), 1 < p < N, 
, λ >0, 1 < q < p, sign-changing weight functions f and g are continuous functions on 
, 
is the best Hardy constant and 
is the critical Sobolev exponent. By extracting the Palais-Smale sequence in the
Nehari manifold, the multiplicity of positive solutions to this equation is verified.
