Using Descartes' Rule of Signs:
The signs are: - + - + - +
There are 5 signs changes in this sequence, so there could be either 5, 3, or 1 positive roots.
If we negate the terms with odd numbers (x^5, x^3), we end up with the signs: - - - - - +
Since there is 1 sign change, there can be only 1 negative root.
This means the positive and negative roots can either be 6, 4, or 2.
Since the total number of roots cannot exceed 6, there are either 0, 2, or 4 complex roots.

Answer:

The area is 5 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ The area of the square of side length 3 which contains

   the quadrilateral ABCD = 3 × 3 = 9 units²

∵ The area of the 4 triangles on the sides of the quadrilateral ABCD

   = 1/2(2)(1) + 1/2(1)(2) + 1/2(2)(1) + 1/2(1)(2) = 4 units²

Answer:

C. \sqrt{x + 2}  -  \sqrt{x}

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{2}{ \sqrt{x} +  \sqrt{x + 2}  } \\  \\  =   \frac{2}{ (\sqrt{x} +  \sqrt{x + 2})  } \times  \frac{(\sqrt{x}  -   \sqrt{x + 2})}{(\sqrt{x}  -   \sqrt{x + 2})}  \\  \\  =  \frac{2( \sqrt{x}  -  \sqrt{x + 2}) }{ ({ \sqrt{x} )}^{2}  -  {( \sqrt{x + 2} )}^{2} }  \\  \\  = \frac{2( \sqrt{x}  -  \sqrt{x + 2}) }{ x  -  {( x + 2)} }  \\  \\  = \frac{2( \sqrt{x}  -  \sqrt{x + 2}) }{ x  -   x  - 2 } \\  \\  = \frac{2( \sqrt{x}  -  \sqrt{x + 2}) }{  - 2 }  \\  \\  =  - ( \sqrt{x}  -  \sqrt{x + 2})  \\  \\  \frac{2}{ \sqrt{x} +  \sqrt{x + 2}  } =   \purple{ \bold{\sqrt{x + 2}  -  \sqrt{x} }}
