The fundamental theorem of algebra states that a polynomial with degree n has at most n solutions. The "at most" depends on the fact that the solutions might not all be real number.
In fact, if you use complex number, then a polynomial with degree n has exactly n roots.
So, in particular, a third-degree polynomial can have at most 3 roots.
In fact, in general, if the polynomial
has solutions
, then you can factor it as

So, a third-degree polynomial can't have 4 (or more) solutions, because otherwise you could write it as

But this is a fourth-degree polynomial.
Answer:
+5
Step-by-step explanation:
You add five to -7 you get -2 add five to -2 you get 3 and so on.
Answer:
y= (-3x +14.50) / 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the 8y
Subtract 3x from both sides
8y = -3x + 14.50
Then, isolate the left to only y
y= (-3x +14.50) / 8
