Question

The product of zeros of the quadratic polynomial \(x^2 + 3x - 4\) is

(A) 4

(B) 3

(C) -4

(D) -3

Answer 1

Correct option is: (C) -4  

For a quadratic equation \(a x^2+b x+c,\)    

Product of zeros \((\alpha \beta) = \frac{c}{a}\)   

In quadratic polynomial \(x^2+3 x-4,\) we have:

a = 1 

b = 3

c = -4

So,

Product of zeros \((\alpha \beta) =\frac{c}{a} \)

\(=-\frac{4}{1} \)

= -4

Answer 2

Correct option is: (C) -4
