D IMO
y * (x-3)^2 = 0
So either y = 0 (or/and) x = 3.
Statement 1:
x = -2, then y should be 0. Hence xy = 0
Statement 2:
x<0, again y should be 0. xy = 0
y * (x-3)^2 = 0
So either y = 0 (or/and) x = 3.
Statement 1:
x = -2, then y should be 0. Hence xy = 0
Statement 2:
x<0, again y should be 0. xy = 0
