The two roots of this functions are the exact roots and one is an imaginary root. The -2 is the root of a negative number -16 because if you compute the -2 on its 3rd power you come up -16, the 2 is the root of 16 and the 4+i contains a imaginary number that is why it is an imaginary root

Answer:

f(x) has three real roots and two imaginary roots.

Explanation:

It is given that the three roots of a fifth degree polynomial function f(x) are –2, 2, and 4 + i. In which -2,2 are real root and 4+i is imaginary root.

The number of roots of a polynomial is equal to the degree of that polynomial.

Since the degree of polynomial function is 5, therefore the function has total 5 roots.

According to the complex conjugate root theorem, if a+ib is a root of a polynomial, then its conjugate a-ib is also a root of that function. The number of imaginary roots are always an even number.

Since 4+i is a root of the polynomial, therefore 4-i is also a root of the function.

2 roots are real and 2 roots are imaginary. The remaining 1 root must be real because the number of imaginary roots can not be odd.

Therefore the function f(x) has three real roots and two imaginary roots.

The graph shows the reaction pathway for the reaction Q + R N + M. Interpret the graph by describing what each of the letters (A
Vladimir [108]

Answer: The reaction is exothermic reaction as the energy of products is less than the energy of reactants.

Explanation: Exothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is less than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is released in the form of heat and \Delta H for the reaction comes out to be negative.

Labeling of the parts in the diagram:

A represents the activation energy which is the energy required by reactants to cross the energy barrier to get converted to products.

E represents the potential energy of the reactants.

B represents the activated complex.

D represents the potential energy of the products.

C represents the total enthalpy change of the reaction, which comes out to be negative for exothermic reactions.

\Delta H=E_P-E_R

3 A soil has 70% sand, 20% silt
Kisachek [45]

Today, as part of the series of posts on soils, we are going to look at ‘soil texture’. Soil forms the basis for all life but it’s important to know about its mineral constitution as well as its biological profile.

Texture refers to the ‘feel’ of the soil. This is affected by the constituent materials found within it, specifically sand, silt and clay particles. A coarse sand will feel gritty but a wet clay will feel heavy and sticky. The texture of a soil has a direct impact on the way the soil reacts to certain environmental conditions – for example, towards drought or heavy rain (with sandy soils more freely draining).

There is a big difference in the size of the different particles.

Coarse sand = diameter 2-0.2mm

Fine sand = diameter 0.2-0.02mm

Silt = diameter 0.02-0.002mm

Clay = diameter less than 0.002mm

Note how the clay particles are much smaller than the sand particles – this is important as it means the total surface area of a clay soil is much greater and so the capacity to hold water is also much greater.

Between the sand, silt and clay particles there are lots of pores. In fact a soil as a whole is generally 45% mineral, 5% organic matter (depending on the soil) and 50% pore space through which air and water can pass.

Sand –

Made up of weathered primary rock minerals.

The particles are irregular in outline.

They are large and so do not pack together easily.

Large pore spaces in between.

Air gets in very easily and water flows rapidly through it.

Silt –

Answer:

When a front passes over an area, it means a change in the weather. Many fronts cause weather events such as rain, thunderstorms, gusty winds, and tornadoes. At a cold front, there may be dramatic thunderstorms. At a warm front, there may be low stratus clouds. Usually, the skies clear once the front has passed.
