By using pythagoras, we can find CB.
We know that
Therefore,
(it has to be positive since it is distance)
now we look at triangle BCD and use SOH CAH TOA.
Answer:
• x = -4, x = 0, x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
x is a factor of all terms, so x=0 is a zero. (Eliminates choices 1 and 5.)
The sum of coefficients is 0, so x=1 is a zero. (Eliminates choices 3 and 4.)
Reversing the sign of the odd-degree terms gives signs of -++, so there is one sign change, hence one negative real root (by Descartes' rule of signs). This confirms choice 2 as the answer.
