You start driving north for 27 miles, turn right, and drive east for another 36 miles. At the end of driving, what is your strai
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If you drive straight north then turn and drive straight east, you have driven 2 sides of a right triangle. The straight line distance from where you are to where you started from is the hypotenuse of the right triangle. Use Pythagorean's Theorem to solve:
and
and
That means that length of the hypotenuse is 45.
45 miles is the distance.

The fundamental theorem of algebra states that a polynomial with degree n has at most n solutions. The "at most" depends on the fact that the solutions might not all be real number.
In fact, if you use complex number, then a polynomial with degree n has exactly n roots.
So, in particular, a third-degree polynomial can have at most 3 roots.
In fact, in general, if the polynomial has solutions
, then you can factor it as
So, a third-degree polynomial can't have 4 (or more) solutions, because otherwise you could write it as
But this is a fourth-degree polynomial.
