The product of the roots of x² + 6x - 55 = 0 is:A. -55B. -6C. 55
Question
Answer:
The correct answer is: [A]: " -55 " ._____________________________________________________
Note:
_____________________________________________________
x² + 6x − 55 = 0 ;
-11, 5 ==> -11 + 5 = -6 ;
-5, 11 ==> -5 + 11 = 6 ; Yes:
So, factor into: (x − 5) (x + 11) = 0 ;
The roots:
_____________________________________________________
x = 5;
x = -11 ;
_____________________________________________________
The product: 5 * -11 = -55 ; which is: "Answer choice: [A]: " -55 " .
