Descares Theorem says that the number of roots of a polynomial is equal to its highest exponent, and the roots could be real and/or imaginary (complex).

However is their is one complex root (a + i.b), it's conjugate is also
a root (a-i.b).

In the equation x⁴ - 4x³ - 2x² + 12x + 9 = 0, we have already 3 roots, then the 4rth cannot be a complex one since we don't have a fifth for its conjugate.

How do you determine what your grade average is based on the following grades?:
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

Test's average-95

Homework's average-96.67

Step-by-step explanation:

Average is mathematically defined as the sum of the values divided by the total number of values and is expressed as:

\bar X=\frac{1}{n}\sum{x_i}, n=number \ of \ values.

The Tests' average is calculated as:

\bar X_t=\frac{1}{n}\sum{x_i}\\\\=\frac{1}{3}(98+92+95)\\\\=\frac{1}{3}\times 285\\\\=95

Hence, the Tests' average is 95

#The Homework's average is calculated as:

\bar X_h=\frac{1}{n}\sum{x_i}\\\\=\frac{1}{3}(93+97+100)\\\\=\frac{1}{3}\times 290\\\\=96.67

Hence, the Homework's average is 96.67

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

so this is (base times hight)

(bH)

42=7x

you didvide 7 from both sides

42 divided by 7 is 6

so basically its 6

because that would be your base thats what you are missing

then its just baseically (BH) (7 times 6)= 42

if this is wrong im so sorry I just learned this good luck
