Question

If  α and β are the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial ax² + bx + c, then the value of  α x β  is 

(A)  c/a

(B)  a/c

(C)  –c/a

(D)  –a/c

Answer 1

Correct option  (A) c/a 

Explanation:

Given quadratic polynomial ax² + bx + c zeroes = α and  β.

∴  product of roots = constant term/coefficient of  x²

α . β = c/a.
