The -1 affects the coefficient of the entire term.

Without the -1,
the term has a positive coefficient.
(3a)² = 9a²

However, with the -1,
the term has a negative coefficient.
-(3a)² = -9a²

A fifth-degree polynomial equation with rational coefficients has the roots 3, 8i, and 7- radical 5. Which are also roots of the

Sliva [168]

Using <u>complex numbers and radicals</u>, it is found that the correct option is C.

When a complex number is a root of a polynomial function, it's conjugate also has to be.

Hence, since 8i is a root of the function, -8i is also a root.

The same is valid for radicals, as they are in the $\pm$ format.

Since $7 - \sqrt{5}$ is a root, $7 + \sqrt{5}$ is also a root.

Hence, option C is correct.

A spherical balloon is inflated with a gas at the rate of 500 cm3/min. How fast is the radius of the balloon increasing at the i

Burka [1]

The volume of the sphere is expressed in the formula V = 4/3 pi r^3. The rate of change of volume is determined by differentiating the formula: dV/dt = 4pi r^2 dr/dt. When we substitute 500 cm3/min as dV/dt and 30 cm as r. Then dr/dt is equal to 0.0442 cm/min
