ANSWER
One real root.
EXPLANATION
The graph of the function
is shown in the attachment.
According to the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, this function must have 3 roots including real and complex roots.
The x-intercepts gives the number of real roots.
Observe that the graph has only one intercept.
This implies that, the equation:
has only one real solution.
Answer:
Therefore the slope of the line that passes through the points (-9, -8),(−15,−16) is
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Let,
point A( x₁ , y₁) ≡ ( -9 ,-8)
point B( x₂ , y₂ )≡ (-15 ,-16)
To Find:
Slope = ?
Solution:
Slope of Line Segment AB is given as
Substituting the values we get
Therefore the slope of the line that passes through the points (-9, -8),(−15,−16) is
