If one of the zeros of the cubic polynomial ax3 + bx2 + cx + d is 0 then the product of the other two zeros is underlinebb(c/a). Explanation: Let α, β, 0 be the zeros of ax3 + bx2 + cx + d. Then, sum of the products of zeros, taken two at a time is given by (αβ + β xx 0 + α xx 0) = c/a ⇒ αβ = c/a ∴ The product of the other two zeros is c/a.
