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.
