(A) For a quadratic equation of the form $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$, the product of the roots is given by $\frac{c}{a}$.Comparing the given equation $2x^2 + 6x + (\alpha^2 + 1) = 0$ with the standard form, we have $a = 2$ and $c = \alpha^2 + 1$.The product of the roots is $\frac{\alpha^2 + 1}{2}$.According to the problem, the product of the roots is $-\alpha$.Therefore, $\frac{\alpha^2 + 1}{2} = -\alpha$.Multiplying both sides by $2$, we get $\alpha^2 + 1 = -2\alpha$.Rearranging the terms, we get $\alpha^2 + 2\alpha + 1 = 0$.This is a perfect square trinomial: $(\alpha + 1)^2 = 0$.Solving for $\alpha$, we get $\alpha = -1$.

If the product of the roots of the equation $2x^2 + 6x + \alpha^2 + 1 = 0$ is $-\alpha$, then the value of $\alpha$ will be
