Answer:
Sum of zeroes = 6
Product of Zeroes = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Your question is partly incomplete, the question should be to find the sum and product of the zeroes of the given polynomial.
Considering my question, the soln is
We have ax² + bx + c, so
Sum of Zeroes = - (Coefficient of x) / Coefficient of x²)
= - b/a
And product of zeroes = (Constant term) / (Coefficient of x²)
= c/a
Therefore sum of zeroes = -b/a = - (-6) / (1) = 6
and product of zeroes = c/a = 5 / 1 = 5
