Question

The product of the roots of x2 + 6x - 55 = 0 is:
-55
55

Answer 1

Hey!
The answer is -55.

Answer 2

- 55

Explanation:

Given a quadratic equation in standard form : ax² + bx + c = 0 : a ≠ 0

The sum of the roots = -
`(b)/(a)` and

The product of the roots =
`(c)/(a)`

x² + 6x - 55 = 0 ← is in standard form

with a = 1, b = 6 and c = - 55, hence

product of the roots =
`(-55)/(1)` = - 55
