Answer:
It is incorrect. The product is 3/2.
Step-by-step explanation:
The factored form of a quadratic with roots p and q can be ...
a(x -p)(x -q) = ax² -a(p+q) +apq
Then the product of the roots is the ratio of the constant to the leading coefficient:
pq = (apq)/a
In the given quadratic, that product is ...
pq = 3/2 . . . . . . not 5/2
The statement that the product of roots is 5/2 is incorrect. That value does not have the required relationship to the coefficients of the quadratic.
