one way would be to factor
I can't factor it so we will have to use Descartes' Rule of Signs which is helpful for finding how many real roots you have
it goes like this:
for a polynomial with real coefients, consider .
after arranging the terms in decending order in terms of degree, count how many times the signs of the coeffients change direction and minus 2 from that number until you get to 1 or 0. that will be the number of even roots the function can have
We have (-, -, +, +). the signs changed 1 times, so it has 1 real positive root
to get the negative roots, we evaluate f(-x) and see how many times the root changes
signs are (-, -, -, +). there was 1 change in sign
so the function has 1 real negative root
a total of 2 real roots
a function of degree can have at most,
roots
our function is degree 6 so it has 6 roots
if 2 are real, then the others must be complex
6-2=4 so there are 4 complex roots
you can also show that there are only 2 real roots by using a graphing utility to see that there are only 2 real roots
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
From C-A, it goes from y=1 to y=5, so that 4 units
From A-B, it goes from x = -1 to x = 4, that is 5 units
Now, to find distance from B to C, we need to use the distance formula:
Where the variables are the respective points of B and C,
B (4,5) & C(-1,1)
So x_1 =4, y_1=5, x_2=-1, y_2=1
Plugging into the formula we get:
Summing it all (perimeter is sum of 3 sides):
Distance =
3rd answer choice is right.
