What is the product of all solutions to the equation
Solution 1
For , transform it into
. Replace
with
. Because we want to find the product of all solutions of
, it is equivalent to finding the sum of all solutions of
. Change the equation to standard quadratic equation form, the term with 1 power of
is canceled. By using Vieta, we see that since there does not exist a
term,
and
.

Solution 2 (Same idea as Solution 1 with easily understand steps)
Rearranging it give us:
let be
, we get
