technically this does not start with nine
X² + x + ...m
x² + x + 1/4
\/x² = x
\/(1/4) = 1/2
2*x*1/2 = 2x/2 = x
x² + x/2 + 1/4
Given:
The polynomial function is
Yuri thinks that 
is a root of the given function.
To find:
Why cannot be a root?
Solution:
We have,
If is a root, then the value of the function at is 0.
Putting 
in the given function, we get
Taking LCM, we get
Since the value of the function at is not equal to 0, therefore, is not a root of the given function.
2)
perpendicular lines because the slopes are opposite reciprocals
