(a) Use the fundamental theorem of algebra to determine the number of roots for 2x^2 + 4x + 7

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A 2nd order polynomial such as this one will have 2 roots; a 3rd order polynomial 3 roots, and so on.

The quadratic formula is one of the faster ways (in this situation, at least) in which to find the roots.  From 2x^2 + 4x + 7 we get a = 2, b = 4 and c = 7.

Then the discriminant is b^2 - 4ac, or, here, 4^2 - 4(2)(7), or -40.  Because the discriminant is negative, we know that the roots will be complex and unequal.

Using the quadratic formula:

       -4 ±√[-40]         -4 ± 2i√10

x  = ------------------ = ------------------

                4                       4

                                       -2 ± i√10

Thus, the roots are x = ------------------

                                               2

36x^3a+45xa^2=9xa( ) complete the statement.
Dafna1 [17]
9xa is the common factor.

You can complete the statement by dividing the two terms of the expression of the left side by 9xa, and you will get:

36x^3a + 45xa^2 = 9xa ( 4x^2 + 5a)

An american roulette wheel has 38 slots, of which 18 are red, 18 are black, and 2 are green (0 and 00). if you spin the wheel 38
Alexeev081 [22]
Intuitively, one would think the ball would land in the green spot 2 out of the 38 times, since there are 38 slots and 2 are green.

The probability that it lands in a green section is 2/38.  Multiplying this by the number of times the experiment is performed, we get (2/38)(38) = 2.

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

first do 75/50 = 1.5

then multiply red by 1.5

13 landed on red so

13 x 1.5 = 19.5

but since you round up it is 20
