57Product of roots

What is the product of the solutions to x2−9x+14=0\displaystyle x^2 - 9x + 14 = 0? A) −14 B) −9 C) 9 D) 14

The product of the solutions is 14, which is answer D. For ax² + bx + c = 0, the product of the roots is c/a = 14/1 = 14. Checking by factoring: x² − 9x + 14 = (x − 2)(x − 7), and 2 × 7 = 14.

How good is this answer?
