Answer:

0 or 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The Fundamental theorem of Algebra states that a polynomial of degree n has n roots.

Since degree 3 then there are 3 possible roots

Since complex roots occur in conjugate pairs then

There can be 0 or 2 complex roots.

Solve for the specified variable c=1/6rt for r

natali 33 [55]

t = $\frac{1}{6ct}$

multiply both sides by 6rt

6crt = 1 ( divide both sides by 6ct to obtain r )

t = $\frac{1}{6ct}$

98 POINTS!!! Write a polynomial function in standard form given the zeros ±√5 , 7

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Knowing the three zeros of the equation, we can set it up as follows:

$(x - \sqrt{5})(x + \sqrt{5})(x - 7)$

Multipying the first two expressions together gives us the following:

$(x^{2} - 5)(x - 7)$

Multiplying the two expressions together gives us the following:

$x^{3} - 7x^{2} - 5x + 35$

Rewrite the following equation in standard form. y=4x+10

Virty [35]

standard from Ax +By = C

y = 4x+10

subtract 4x from each side

-4x+y = 10

or 4x - y = -10
