We can one theorem to help us find rational roots of this polynomial.

2x^3 + x^2 - 4x - 2

We'll use Descartes' rule of signs.

Because there is 1 sign change, 1 of the 3 roots will be positive.

Now we can make the value of x -1 to see how many negative roots there will be.

-2 + 1 + 4 - 2

There are 2 sign changes, so we know there will be 2 negative roots.

Because of this, we should have 3 real, rational roots.

larisa [96]

Answer:

a+b = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 36 possible outcomes for rolling two dice. Let A be the number rolled by Abed and D be the number rolled by Dawn. The sample space, in the format [A,D], of all of the possibilities in which Dawn's number is larger is:

[5,6]

[4,5] [4,6]

[3.4] [3,5] [3.6]

[2,3] [2.4] [2,5] [2.6]

[1,2] [1,3] [1.4] [1,5] [1.6]

There are 15 ways out of 36 possible ways of Dawn getting the higher number. In the simplest form:

$\frac{15}{36}=\frac{5}{12}=\frac{a}{b}\\ a+b = 5+12 = 17$
