According to the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, the number of roots of a polynomial is equal to the degree of the polynomial. The degree of the polynomial is the highest exponent of a term in the polynomial.
Looking at the function, the term with the highest exponent is 8x7. The exponent is 7; therefore, the function has 7 roots.
Let, speed of 1st bicyclist is x.
So, speed of 2nd bicyclist is x-3 .
We know, relative speed when two objects moves towards each other :

Now, distance travelled in 3 hours is (98-2) miles .
So,

Therefore, speed of bikes are 17.5 mph and 14.5 mph.
Hence, this is the required solution.
The slope for the first one would be:
y2-y1/x2-x1, so replace those with the coordinates and you'll get:
-3-1/-7-(-7) => -4/0 so I guess the slope is zero
the slope for the second one would be:
-3-(-3)/5-(-4)=> 0/9 I think this one would be undefined.
Check to make sure, though!

Answer:
(-2, -3), (1, 6), (2, 9) are plotted in the attached graph
Step-by-step explanation:
For x = -2, y = 3(-2) +3 = -3. The ordered pair is (-2, -3).
For x = 1, y = 3(1) +3 = 6. The ordered pair is (1, 6).
For x = 2, y = 3(2) +3 = 9. The ordered pair is (2, 9).
The graph is attached.
37 is prime so it is reduced to its lowest form.
33/44 simplifies to 3/4
