general equation of cubic polynomial is :


  • a {x}^(3) + b {x}^(2) + cx + d = 0

And we know the product of its roots is equal to


  • ( - d)/(a)

by equating the given equation with general equation,

we get :

  • a = 1

  • d = -6

therfore, the product of their roots :


  • ( - d)/(a)


  • \frac {- ( - 6)}{1}


  • 6

Answer = 6

i hope it helped.....
