Answer: 24
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let's find one solution:
3x² + 7x + c = 0
a=3 b=7 c=c
First, let's find c so that it has REAL ROOTS.
⇒ Discriminant (b² - 4ac) ≥ 0
7² - 4(3)c ≥ 0
49 - 12c ≥ 0
-12c ≥ -49
Since c must be a positive integer, 1 ≤ c ≤ 4
Example: c = 4
3x² + 7x + 4 = 0
(3x + 4)(x + 1) = 0
x = -4/3, x = -1 Real Roots!
<em>You need to use Quadratic Formula to solve for c = {1, 2, 3}</em>
<em />
Valid solutions for c are: {1, 2, 3, 4)
Their product is: 1 x 2 x 3 x 4 = 24
