Roots with imaginary parts always occur in conjugate pairs. Three of the four roots are known and they are all real, which means the fourth root must also be real.
Because we know 3 and -1 (multiplicity 2) are both roots, the last root is such that we can write
There are a few ways we can go about finding , but the easiest way would be to consider only the constant term in the expansion of the right hand side. We don't have to actually compute the expansion, because we know by properties of multiplication that the constant term will be
.
Meanwhile, on the left hand side, we see the constant term is supposed to be 9, which means we have
so the missing root is 3.
Other things we could have tried that spring to mind:
- three rounds of division, dividing the quartic polynomial by , then by
twice, and noting that the remainder upon each division should be 0
- rational root theorem
Answer:
y > 4x - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The basic format of a line in slope-intercept form is,
This format undergoes no change when one implements it for the use of a two-variable inequality.
The parameter (m) represents the slope of a line, this can be found by using the formula (). Traditionally, one would use a formula to find the slope of a line that is the following, (
). However, in the given situation, one can simply count the number of boxes from one point with respect to the x-axis to another, and thus get (4).
The parameter (b) represents the point in which the graph intersects the y-axis, one can see that this point is (-2).
Since the line is dotted, one would only use the greater than symbol, not the greater than or equal-too-symbol.
Finally, since the area above the line is shaded, therefore one knows that it is (y) is greater than.
