The equation y - 2 = -5(x - 2) represents a linear function ⇒ 1st answer

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear function is any function that graphs to a straight line

(not a vertical line)

The forms of the linear equation are

y = m x + b, where m is the slope of the line which represents the function and b is the y-intercept ⇒ slope-intercept form
$y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})$ , where m is the slope and $(x_{1},y_{1})$ is a point lies on the line which represent the function ⇒ slope-point form
Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are constant ⇒ standard form

Linear function means the greatest power x and y in the equation of the function is 1

∵ The equation is y - 2 = -5(x - 2)

∵ The greatest power of x and y is 1

∵ The equation is in the form of $y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})$ , where

m = -5 and the coordinates of the point are (2 , 2)

∴ The equation represents a linear function

The equation y - 2 = -5(x - 2) represents a linear function

According to Descartes's rule of sign, how many possible positive and negative roots are there for the equation

damaskus [11]

<h2>Descartes Rule of Sign</h2><h3>Answer:</h3>

There are $3$ Real Roots for the Equation

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

According to Descartes Rule of Sign, The maximum number of real roots a polynomial equation has is the number of times the sign of term changes from a higher power term to a lower power term.

In the given equation, $0=-4x^6-3x^5+2x^2-4x+1$ , we can already see that from $\red -4x^6$ to $\red -3x^5$ we can see that the sign didn't change so there might be no real roots. From $\red -3x^5$ to $\blue +2x^2$ , we can see that the signs change so we now know that there might be $1$ real root for equation. From $\blue +2x^2$ to $\red -4x$ , the signs changed so there might be $2$ real roots. From $\red -4x$ to $\blue +1$ , it changed again so there might be $3$ real roots. There are no other term with lesser power to compare for $\blue +1$ so we are left with $3$ real roots.
