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

1. 2x + 4 = 3(x – 2) + 1
sweet [91]
Please, do not post more than 1 or 2 questions at a time.  Out of courtesy I will address one of your six questions here:

<span>2x + 4 = 3(x – 2) + 1

You are to solve this for x.

1) perform the multiplication:     </span><span>2x + 4 = 3x - 6 + 1
2) combine like terms:                4+6-1 = x
3) solve for x:                              x = 11
4) check:  Is 2(11) + 4 = 3(11-2) + 1 true?
   Is 22+4 = 33-6 true?  NO.  Try again, looking for the mistake:

</span><span>2x + 4 = 3(x – 2) + 1  =>   2x + 4 = 3x - 6 + 1
                                                  4 = x - 5
                                                  9 = x

Check:  Is 2(9) + 4 = 3(9-2) + 1 true?  Is 18+4 = 22 true?  YES.
The solution to #1 is  x = 9  (answer).

Submit your other questions separately, please.

Answer:

P(green)+P(yellow)=\frac{3}{8}+\frac{1}{8}

P(green)+P(yellow)=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}

P(green)+P(yellow)=\frac{3}{7}+\frac{1}{14}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given probabilities are:

P(red)=\frac{2}{7}

P(blue)=\frac{3}{14}

Their sum is P(red)+P(blue)=\frac{2}{7}+\frac{3}{14}

The probabilities that will complete the model should add up to \frac{1}{2} so that the sum of all probabilities is 1.

P(green)+P(yellow)=\frac{2}{7}+\frac{2}{7}\ne\frac{1}{2}

P(green)+P(yellow)=\frac{3}{8}+\frac{1}{8}=\frac{1}{2}

P(green)+P(yellow)=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{2}

P(green)+P(yellow)=\frac{5}{21}+\frac{11}{21}\ne\frac{1}{2}

P(green)+P(yellow)=\frac{3}{7}+\frac{1}{14}=\frac{1}{2}
