Question

The product of the roots of 5 - 2m - 3m2 = 0 is:

Answer 1

-2/3

Explanation:

Answer 2

Use Vieta's formulas:

`ax^2+bx+c=0\\\\x_1\cdot x_2=(c)/(a)`

`x_1;x_2`-the roots

We have

`5-2m-3m^2=0\to a=-3;\ b=-2;\ c=5`

put the values of c and a to the expression:

`m_1\cdot m_2=(5)/(-3)=-(5)/(3)`
