If the roots of a quadratic equation are 1±√5, then the product of the roots is

The plus-minus sign represents that there are two possible outcomes.

In this case, we have . When we branch out the possibilities we got 2 values: and

Those are the roots of this equation. When they ask their product, they want you to multiply both numbers.

When we multiply them:

When we FOIL the we get:

Simplify:



So the product of the two roots of this equation is 6.
