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

is given by the formula:

d

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.

Divide 180 degrees by the ratio 4:5:9, Help Please
mixas84 [53]
Add all the numbers in the ratio together to get 18 then divide 180 by 18 to equal 10. then times that by each individual number in the ratio. so the  answer is 40:50:90
