Question
The product of the zeros of x3 + 4x2 + x − 6 is
Options
−4
4
6
−6
Solution
Given `alpha, beta,y` be the zeros of the polynomial x3 + 4x2 + x − 6
Product of the zeros = `(\text{Constant term })/(\text{Coefficient of}\x^3) = (-(-6))/1 =6`
The value of Product of the zeros is 6.
Hence, the correct choice is `( c ).`
