a. There are 0 or 2 real positive roots for the equation and

b. There are 0 or 2 real negative roots for the equation.

<h3>What is the Descartes'rule of sign?</h3>

Descartes' rule of sign states that

  • The number of real positive zero of a polynomial f(x) is the number of sign changes of the coefficients of f(x) or an even number less than the number of sign changes of the coefficients of f(x)
  • The number of real negative zero of a polynomial f(x) is the number of sign changes of the coefficients of f(-x) or an even number less than the number of sign changes of the coefficients of f(-x)

<h3>How to find the number of possible positive and negative roots are there for the equation?</h3>

Given the equation 0 = −8x¹⁰ − 2x⁷ + 8x⁴ − 4x² − 1, writing it as a polynomial function, we have f(x) = −8x¹⁰ − 2x⁷ + 8x⁴ − 4x² − 1

<h3>a. The number of positive roots</h3>

So, to find the number of positive roots, we find the number of sign changes of the polynomial f(x).

So, f(x) = −8x¹⁰ − 2x⁷ + 8x⁴ − 4x² − 1

Since f(x) has coefficients -8, -2, + 8, -4, -1, there are two sign changes from -2 to + 8 and from + 8 to -4.

So, there are 2 or 2 - 2 = 0 real positive roots.

So, there are 0 or 2 real positive roots for the equation.

<h3>b. The number of negative roots</h3>

So, to find the number of negative roots, we find the number of sign changes of the polynomial f(-x).

So, f(-x) = −8(-x)¹⁰ − 2(-x)⁷ + 8(-x)⁴ − 4(-x)² − 1

= −8x¹⁰ + 2x⁷ + 8x⁴ − 4x² − 1

Since f(x) has coefficients -8, +2, + 8, -4, -1, there are two sign changes from -8 to + 2 and from + 8 to -4.

So, there are 2 or 2 - 2 = 0 real negative roots.

So, there are 0 or 2 real negative roots for the equation.

So,

  • There are 0 or 2 real positive roots for the equation and
  • There are 0 or 2 real negative roots for the equation.

Which of the following expressions represents the GCF of 91x 2 y and 104xy 3?
zlopas [31]
The greatest common factor is found by finding the product of common primes.

91=7*13, 104=2*2*2*13  so the gcf of 91 and 104 is 13.  Since the highest power of x and y in both terms is 1, the hcf for the variables is just xy

13xy
