Answer:
6 roots
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The number of roots is determined by the degree of the polynomial. They may be real or complex.
In this problem we have
The degree refers to the highest exponent of the polynomial
Since this is a 6th degree polynomial, it will have 6 roots
The two intersection points are (-2.79, -0.58) and (0.79, 6.58).
<h3>How to find the points of intersection?</h3>
Here we want to solve the system of equations:
y = 2x + 5
x² + y² = 36
To solve this, we need to replace the first equation into the second one:
x² + (2x + 5)² = 36
Now we can solve this for x:
x² + 4x² + 10x + 25 = 36
5x² + 10x - 11 = 0
This is a quadratic equation, to solve it we use the general formula:
So we have two solutions for x:
x = (-10 - 17.9)/10 = -2.79
x = (-10 + 17.9)/10 = 0.79
To get the y-values of the solutions, we evaluate the linear equation in these values of x:
y = 2*(-2.79) + 5 = -0.58
y = 2*( 0.79) + 5 = 6.58
Then the two intersection points are (-2.79, -0.58) and (0.79, 6.58).
