Can a cubic equation have 3 complex roots? 3 real roots? ...?

No, a cubic equation can not have three complex roots. This is because it turns twice and one end goes to positive infinity and one end goes to negative infinity. Thus, one of these MUST cross the x-axis at some point, meaning y = 0 and a real root exists.

Yes, a cubic equation can have three real roots if it cuts the x-axis three times.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

using the equation 'y = 12x', if you plug in zero for 'x' you get zero for 'y'; the only graph that has the point (0, 0) is (b)

also, the x-axis represents time so, as time increases, so does the number of calories burned (which is measured on the y-axis) -- not staying flat or decreasing

( x + 2 )^2 - ( y + 2 )^2

The difference of two squares factoring pattern states that a difference of two squares can be factored as follows:

$a^2-b^2 = (a+b)(a-b)$

So, whenever you recognize the two terms of a subtraction to be two squares, you can factor it as the sum of the roots multiplied by the difference of the roots.

In this case, the squares are obvious: $(x+2)^2$ is the square of $x+2$ , and $(y+2)^2$ is the square of $y+2$
