If a polynomial function f(x) has roots 6 and square root of 5, what must also be a root of f(x)?
1 answer:
Answer:
-
Step-by-step explanation:
A root with square root or under root is only obtained when we take the square root of both sides. Remember that when we take a square root, there are two possible answers:
- One answer with positive square root
- One answer with negative square root
For example, for the equation:
If we take the square root of both sides, the answers will be:
Only getting one solution with square root is not possible. Solutions with square root always occur in pairs.
For given case, the roots are 6 and . Therefore, the 3rd root of the polynomial function f(x) had to be -
It seems you made error while writing option B, it should be - square root of 5.
