The fundamental theorem of algebra states that a polynomial with degree n has at most n solutions. The "at most" depends on the fact that the solutions might not all be real number.
In fact, if you use complex number, then a polynomial with degree n has exactly n roots.
So, in particular, a third-degree polynomial can have at most 3 roots.
In fact, in general, if the polynomial
has solutions
, then you can factor it as

So, a third-degree polynomial can't have 4 (or more) solutions, because otherwise you could write it as

But this is a fourth-degree polynomial.

$2.22*15 = $33.33
Answer:
5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 5 numbers that fit the rule, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7. There are 6 numbers total so there is a 5/6 chance spinning on one of them.
Answer:
n = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
You must write and solve a symbolic equation.
n - 6 = 5(n + 2), or
n - 6 = 5n + 10
Combining like terms, we get:
-16 = 4n,
and so n = -4
