Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following theorem, if f is a polynomial with real coefficients, we can factor it completely in factors of the degree at most 2.

Consider first a polynomial of degree two, hence it is a polynomial of the form ax^2+bx+c. The cuadratic formula tells us that the solutions are of the form

x = \frac{-b\pm \sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a}.

Note that square root, over the reals, tells us that the are only real solutions if b^2-4ac \geq 0. If that is not the case, say it's negative, the solution are complex. Then, the solutions are of the form

x = \frac{-b \pm i \sqrt[]{4ac-b^2}}{2a}. NOte that this means that if we have a complex number of the form a+bi that is a solution, then the number a-bi (who is called the complex conjugate) is also a solution.

Recall that when we have a polynomial f(x) whose a zero is the number c, then we can factor f as follows f(x) = (x-c) * p(x) where p(x) is another polynomial of lesser degree .

So far, we know that -3 and 4-i are zeros of the function f. Note that we are missing two zeros. But, since complex numbers are zeros of polynomial only by pairs (that is the number and its conjugate are zeros), then, we must have that one of the missing 2 zeros is a real number. We have 4-i as a zero, then, its complex conjugate must be also a zero, i.e 4+i is a zero.

Marco created a table to help him represent the sample space of spinning a spinner and flipping a coin. Result of spin Result of
Svetradugi [14.3K]

The probability that the result is green - tail is 1/6.

Spinner has three colors that are  red, green and yellow and coin has two sides that are  head or tail.

<h3>What is the formula for probability?</h3>

Divide the number of events by the number of possible outcomes

The sample space is,{(red - head; red - tail; green - head; green - tail; yellow - head; yellow - tail)}In total there are 6 ways to combine different colors with coin sides.

Therefore ,the probability that the result is green - tail is 1/6.
