Answer:

The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra (FTOA) tells us that any non-zero polynomial in one variable with complex (possibly real) coefficients has a complex zero.

A straightforward corollary, often stated as part of the FTOA is that a polynomial in a single variable of degree  

n

>

0

with complex (possibly real) coefficients has exactly  

n

complex (possibly real) zeros, counting multiplicity.

To see that the corollary follows, note that if  

f

(

x

)

is a polynomial of degree  

n

>

0

and  

f

(

a

)

=

0

, then  

(

x

−

a

)

is a factor of  

f

(

x

)

and  

f

(

x

)

x

−

a

is a polynomial of degree  

n

−

1

. So repeatedly applying the FTOA, we find that  

f

(

x

)

has exactly  

n

complex zeros counting multiplicity.

Discriminants

If you want to know how many real roots a polynomial with real coefficients has, then you might like to look at the discriminant - especially if the polynomial is a quadratic or cubic. Ths discriminant gives less information for polynomials of higher degree.

The discriminant of a quadratic  

a

x

2

+

b

x

+

c

is given by the formula:

Δ

=

b

2

−

4

a

c

Then:

Δ

>

0

indicates that the quadratic has two distinct real zeros.

Δ

=

0

indicates that the quadratic has one real zero of multiplicity two (i.e. a repeated zero).

Δ

<

0

indicates that the quadratic has no real zeros. It has a complex conjugate pair of non-real zeros.

The discriminant of a cubic  

a

a

d

Then:

Δ

>

0

indicates that the cubic has three distinct real zeros.

Δ

=

0

indicates that the cubic has either one real zero of multiplicity  

3

or one real zero of multiplicity  

2

and another real zero.

Δ

<

0

indicates that the cubic has one real zero and a complex conjugate pair of non-real zeros.

How do you solve 26/57= 849/5x
sergeinik [125]
If you would like to solve 26/57 = 849/5x, you can do this using the following steps:

<span>26/57 = 849/5x          /*(5x)
</span>26/57 * (5x) = 849     /*57
26 * 5x = 849 * 57    /26
5x = 48393/26        /5
x = <span>48393/(26*5)
x = 372.25

The correct result would be </span><span>372.25.</span><span>

The answer and the work that was needed to solve it .
cupoosta [38]
First, you add up all the prices. 1.79 + 2.99 + 4.37 + 0.33 = 9.48. Then, you do 10.00 - 9.48 = 0.52 and that's your answer.
