Question

According to the adjoining graph, the product of the zeroes of the polynomial will be

• A. positive
• B. negative
• C. zero
• D. cannot be determined

Answer 1

The correct option is B

negative

One of the zeros of the polynomial lies on the positive x-axis. Thus, the abscissa or the x -coordinate, which is the corresponding zero, is positive.
The other zero lies on the negative x-axis. Thus the abscissa or x -coordinate which is the corresponding zero, is negative.
Thus, the product of zeroes is going to be $positive\times negative=negative$
