Answer:

The answer is C, 17 and | -17|

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this using the process of elimination.

Looking at the first one, we know that those | | around the 7 mean to find the absolute value. The absolute value is the number of units the number is from zero, and it is always positive. This means that it is saying 7 and -7. Those are opposites, so we know that this isn't right.

17 and -17 are opposites, since the opposite of a positive is a negative.

The last one is the same. 71 and -71 are opposites. That leaves us with C.

Remember that those | | mean to find the absolute value of. -17 is 17 unites from zero. So is 17 the oppostie of 17? No, so these are not opposites, and therefore are our answer.

Two or zero expresses the possible number of positive real solutions for the given polynomial equation.

Answer: Option D

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given equation:

$x^{3}-4 x^{2}-7 x+28=0$

First, we put hit and trial method to find out the one solution. So, if we put x=4 then the above expression will become zero. We can also write the above expression as

$(x-4) \times\left(x^{2}-7\right)=0$
