Number of solutions: no roots
Type of solution: Not Real
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to identify the number of solutions and their types using the discriminant.
We are given:
Rearranging:
Discriminant can be found by:
where b=-40, a=10 and c=41
Putting values:
So, Discriminant is -40
If the discriminant is less than zero i.e -40 then there are no real roots.
So, Number of solutions: no roots
Type of solution: Not Real
Keywords: discriminant

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(f*g)(x) = (-5x² + 2x + 7) (x +1)
= x* (-5x² + 2x + 7) + 1*(-5x² + 2x + 7)
= x*(-5x²) + x*2x + x*7 - 5x² + 2x + 7
= -5x³ + 2x² + 7x - 5x² + 2x + 7
= - 5x³ + <u>2x² -5x²</u> <u>+ 7x + 2x </u>+7 {Combine like terms}
= -5x³ - 3x² + 9x + 7
4) (f*g)(x) = (x² + 2x + 4)(x - 2)
= x*(x² + 2x + 4) - 2*(x² + 2x + 4)
= x*x² + x*2x + x*4 - 2*x² - 2*2x -2* 4
= x³ + 2x² + 4x -2x² -4x - 8
= x³ - 8
