Based on the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, how many complex roots does each of the following equations have? Write your answer

as a number in the space provided. For example, if there are twelve complex roots, type 12.
x(x2 - 4)(x2 + 16) = 0 has complex roots

(x 2 + 4)(x + 5)2 = 0 has complex roots

x6 - 4x5 - 24x2 + 10x - 3 = 0 has complex roots

x7 + 128 = 0 has complex roots

(x3 + 9)(x2 - 4) = 0 has complex roots

Answer:

2, 2, 4, 6, 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Fundamental Theorem of Algebra states that 'An 'n' degree polynomial will have n number of real roots'.

1. The polynomial is given by x(x^2-4)(x^2+16) = 0

So, on simplifying we get that, x(x+2)(x-2)(x^2+16)=0.

Since, degree of polynomial is 5, it will have 5 roots.

This gives us that the roots of the equation are x = 0, -2, 2, 4i and -4i

So, the number of complex roots are 2.

2. The polynomial is given by (x^2+4)(x+5)^2 = 0

Since, degree of polynomial is 4, it will have 4 roots.

Equating them both by zero, (x^2+4)= 0 and  (x+5)^2=0 gives that the roots of the polynomial are x = 2i, -2i, -5, -5.

So, the number of complex roots are 2.

3. The polynomial is given by x^6-4x^5-24x^2+10x-3=0

Since, degree of polynomial is 6, it will have 6 roots.

On simplifying, we get that the real roots of the polynomial are x = -1.75 and x = 4.28.

So, the number of complex roots are 6-2 = 4.

4. The polynomial is given by x^7+128=0

Since, degree of polynomial is 7, it will have 7 roots.

On simplifying, we get that the only real root of the polynomial is x = -2.

So, the number of complex roots are 7-1 = 6.

5. The polynomial is given by (x^3+9)(x^2-4)=0

Since, degree of polynomial is 5, it will have 5 roots.

Simplifying the equation gives (x+2)(x-2)(x+\sqrt[3]{9})(x^2-\sqrt[3]{9x}+9^{\frac{2}{3}})=0

Equating each to 0, we get the real roots of the polynomial is x=-3^{\frac{2}{3}}

So, the number of complex roots are 5-1 = 4

A comet travels at an average speed of 273,000 km/h.
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer: 52,416,000 km

Step-by-step explanation:

If a comet travels 273,000 km/hr

1) Multiply 273,000 km by 24 hours to find how far the comet travels in one day

2) multiply the answer from 1 by 8 to determine how far it travels in 8 days

1) \frac{273,000 km}{hr}*\frac{24 hr}{1 day} = \frac{6,552,000km}{day} (hours cancel out)

2)\frac{6,552,000km}{day}*8 day= 52,416,000 km in 8 days

The comet approximately travelled 52,416,000km from when it began to travel to when it reached Earth. Hope this helped :)

Write y = x2 + 24x + 144 as a square of binomial.
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

y=(x+12)^2\\

Step-by-step explanation:

To write a quadratic equation into binomial form we can compare the equation into the completing square form of a quadratic equation like this ,

y=a(x-h)^2+k

now since,

y=x^2+24x+144

we can equate both the equations from left hand side to right hand side like this,

x^2+24x+144=a(x-h)^2+k\\

now we solve,

x^2+24x+144=a(x-h)^2+k\\x^2+24x+144=a((x)^2-2(x)(h)+(h)^2)+k\\x^2+24x+144=a(x^2-2hx+h^2)+k\\x^2+24x+144=ax^2-2ahx+ah^2+k\\

now we compare the coefficients of x^2:

1 = a\\

now we compare the coefficients of x :

24=-2ah\\24=-2(1)h\\24=-2h\\\frac{24}{-2}=h\\-12=h\\

now we compare the constants , (constants are the letters which are not associated with any variable in this case the variable is x)

144 = ah^2+k\\144=(1)(-12)^2+k\\144=(1)(144)+k\\144=144+k\\144-144=k\\0=k\\

so now the value we got all the values for the completing square form we plug those in , a = 1 , h = -12 , k = 0 ,

y=a(x-h)^2+k\\y=1(x-(-12))^2+0\\y=(x+12)^2\\

this is the square of a binomial, if you want to verify if we expands this formula by the formula of (a + b)^2 we would get the same result. Thus this is the correct answer.
