Answer:
6.025 as a mixed number is 6 1/40
-18= you owe 18 dollars
18= you earned 18 dollars
0= you owe nothing/you earned nothing
In order for the polynomial to be a degree of 4, it must have exactly 4 roots. According to the fundamental theorem of algebra: "The number of roots in a function is equivalent to the degree of the function"
These roots do not have to be real numbers, which means they can be imaginary or complex.
In this case, (-11 - √2i), (3 + 4i), and 10. There are three roots, which means that the polynomial can be a third of fourth degree polynomial. It is wrong for Patricia to assume that this is a fourth degree polynomial when only three roots are known.
<h3><u>The degree of the polynomial will at least be three, but could be higher.</u></h3>
That would be m squared- 100. I don't exactly know where to go from here. There isn't really enough info for me to go on. Hopefully this helps a little.
