Answer: Option 'B' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

One root of a third degree polynomial function is -5+2i

As we know that every complex root comes with its conjugate root meaning they always come in pairs

So, another complex root will be -5-2i

So, remaining one root which must be real root because if it was complex it would come with its pair i.e. conjugate , then total it makes 4 roots which can't possible for three degree polynomial.

So, there must be 2 complex roots and one real root.

Hence, Option 'B' is correct.

Given the root of -5+2i, we are asked to describe the best statement that describes the polynomial. The root  -5+2i cannot exist without its conjugate root, -5-2i. Complex roots are always accompanied by at least 1 real root. Since there are only 3 roots, there should be one root only, hence the answer is B.<span>

What is the result of subtracting the second equation from the first?<br> -2x+y=0<br> - 7x + 3y = 2
artcher [175]

Answer:

5x - 2y = - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

- 2x + y = 0 → (1)

- 7x + 3y = 2 → (2)

Subtracting (2) from (1) term by term

- 2x - (- 7x) + y - 3y = 0 - 2, that is

- 2x + 7x - 2y = - 2

5x - 2y = - 2
