Sometimes because the answer be be a positive, and the opposite would be a negative which is less. But for a negative, it is always greater. So the answer is sometimes will be greater than the number itself.

Sometimes (i believe)

ex: oppotite of 2 is -2, it's not greater than 2

but if the original number is -2, the opposite is 2, which IS greater

so it depends

Multiply and Simplify (x-4)(x^2 - 5x - 6)

kirill [66]

Answer:

x^3 -9x^2 +14x +24

Step-by-step explanation:

(x-4)(x^2 - 5x - 6)

Multiply the x by everything in the second term

x * (x^2 - 5x - 6)

x^3 -5x^2 -6x

Multiply the -4 by everything in the second term

-4 * (x^2 - 5x - 6)

-4x^2 +20x +24

Add everything together

I like to line them up vertically

x^3 -5x^2 -6x

-4x^2 +20x +24

-------------------------------

x^3 -9x^2 +14x +24

If 7+5i is a zero of a polynomial function of degree 5 with coefficients, then so is _.

defon

Answer: If 7+5i is a zero of a polynomial function of degree 5 with coefficients, then so is its conjugate 7-i5.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that when a complex number $z=a+ib$ is a root of a polynomial with degree 'n' , then the conjugate of the complex number ( $\overline{z}=a-ib$ ) is also a root of the same polynomial.
