Descares Theorem says that the number of roots of a polynomial is equal to its highest exponent, and the roots could be real and/or imaginary (complex).

However is their is one complex root (a + i.b), it's conjugate is also
a root (a-i.b).

In the equation x⁴ - 4x³ - 2x² + 12x + 9 = 0, we have already 3 roots, then the 4rth cannot be a complex one since we don't have a fifth for its conjugate.

KatRina [158]
So the original price is $800. And there is a 10% discount, so:

10% = 80
90% = $720

And there is also a $150 gift card applied, leaving us with a final balance of $570 (720-150)

Consider the table representing a rational function. Which equation could represent a vertical asymptote of the graph of the fun
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

<h2>x = -1</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given table, we see that for <em>x = -1</em>, the function is not defined, that means that the rational function has a restriction there, and such restriction is shown as an asymptote in the graph of the function.

So, basically, we could say that the given rational function has one asymptote and it's at x = -1, which is a vertical asymptote, because all forms like x = k, are vertical lines, that is, they are parallel to the vertical axis.

Therefore, the right answer is the third choice.

Arc CD is One-fourth of the circumference of a circle. What is the radian measure of the central angle?
Alex

Answer:

\frac{\pi }{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the arc is \frac{1}{4} of the circumference, then

central angle = \frac{1}{4} × 2π ← angle in whole circle

central angle = \frac{2\pi }{4} = \frac{\pi }{2}
