Answer:

There are two rational roots for f(x)

Explanation:

We are given a function

f(x) = x^6-2x^4-5x^2+6f(x)=x6−2x4−5x2+6

To find the number of rational roots for f(x).

Let us use remainder theorem that when

f(a) =0, (x-a) is a factor of f(x) or x=a is one solution.

Substitute 1 for x

f(1) = 1-2-5+6=0

Hence x=1 is one solution.

Let us try x=-1

f(-1) = 1-2-5+6 =0

So x =-1 is also a solution and x+1 is a factor

We can write f(x) by trial and error as

f(x) = (x-1)(x+1)(x^2-3)f(x)=(x−1)(x+1)(x2−3)

We find that f(x) (x^2-3)f(x)(x2−3) factor gives two irrational solutions as

±√3.

Hence number of rational roots are 2.

Answer:

The correct answer is C. A stationary front that will cause an extended period of clouds or precipitation means packing rain gear and planning for precipitation during your trip.

Explanation:

The stationary front is a meteorological front on the border of cold and warm air, more common in summer. It is most often the limit of polar and mid-latitude air masses. It usually lasts in place for a maximum of a few days. The stationary front resembles a warm front or a slow cold front. The weather in the stationary front area is variable, often cloudy and often still rainy. In a few days, the stationary front will turn into either a cold or warm front, or its clouds will disintegrate.
