On simplification, the expression is 15b^10/a^5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Use the laws of exponents to solve this. a^m · a^n = a^m+n and a^m ÷ a^n = a^m-n.

which of the following expresses the possible number of positive real solutions for the polynomial equation shown below

Nookie1986 [14]

The polynomial equation x³ - 4x² - 7x + 28 = 0, has solutions -√7, √7, and 4, among which √7 and 4 are positive real solutions. Hence we have two positive real solutions. Hence, option D is the right choice.

In the question, we are asked for the number of positive real solutions for the polynomial equation, x³ - 4x² - 7x + 28 = 0.

To find the solutions, we do as follows:

x³ - 4x² - 7x + 28 = 0,

or, (x³ - 7x) - (4x² + 28) = 0 {Grouping},

or, x(x² - 7) - 4(x² - 7) = 0 {Taking common},

or, (x - 4)(x² - 7) = 0 {Grouping},

or, (x - 4)(x + √7)(x - √7) = 0 {Using the formula: $a^2 - b^2 = (a+b)(a-b)$ }.

By the zero-product rule, the solutions are:

x - 4 = 0, or, x = 4,

x + √7 = 0, or, x = -√7,

x - √7 = 0, or, x = √7.

Thus, the positive real solutions are 4, and √7. Hence, there are two positive real solutions.

Thus, the polynomial equation x³ - 4x² - 7x + 28 = 0, has solutions -√7, √7, and 4, among which √7 and 4 are positive real solutions. Hence we have two positive real solutions. Hence, option D is the right choice.
