Hey i was wondering if anyone could help me with the understanding of this question, i dont want to know how to work it out, i just done understand a certain word used in the question.

"Given that the equation 2x^3 - x^2 - 13x - 6 = 0 has two roots whose product is UNITY, solve the equation"

I dont understand the word UNITY in context of mathematics ?? can anyone clarify this up for me

thank you

unity = 1

ie. their product is one

They're probably not gonna ask you a question in the hsc with the word "unity" in it. If they do, well we know what it means
