Question

If the product of zeroes of the polynomial \( x^2 - 9x + a \) is 8, then the value of \( a \) is

• A. 9
• B. -9
• C. 8
• D. -8

Hint:

For any quadratic polynomial \( ax^2 + bx + c \), the product of the zeroes is given by \( \frac{c}{a} \).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: For the quadratic polynomial \( x^2 - 9x + a \), the product of the zeroes is given by \( a \). Step 2: We are given that the product of the zeroes is 8, so: \[ a = 8 \] Thus, the correct answer is \( a = 8 \).
