How many distinct and real roots can an nth-degree polynomial have?

1 answer:

8 0

The fundamental theorem of algegra is often cited to say that an n-th degree polynomial has n roots. They may not always be distinct, and they may not always be real.

An n-th degree polynomial may have up to n distinct real roots.

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{(f-g)(x)=2x-3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(f-g)(x)=f(x)-g(x)\\\\f(x)=3x-1,\ g(x)=x+2\\\\\text{substitute:}\\\\(f-g)(x)=(3x-1)-(x+2)\\\\=3x-1-x-2\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\=(3x-x)+(-1-2)\\\\=2x-3$

Find the equation of a line parallel to the line x=-10 and contains the point (-4,4)

earnstyle [38]

Hello!

The line x = -10, is an example of an undefined line. It does not pass the vertical line test and each element of the domain is not paired with a unique (one and only one) element of the range. Remember that no two ordered pairs in a function have the same first element.

To find the line parallel to the line given line, we need to use the x-value in the given ordered pair, which will create the parallel line.

Therefore, the line parallel to the line x = -10 is x = -4.
