Example 5-4a
20
Example 5-4a
A graph of the function shows that the solutions
are complex, but it cannot help you find them.
21
Example 5-4a
22
Example 5-4b
23
Example 5-5a
Answer The discriminant is 0, so there is one
rational root.
24
Example 5-5a
Answer The discriminant is negative, so there
are two complex roots.
25
Example 5-5a
Answer The discriminant is 80, which is not a
perfect square. Therefore, there are two
irrational roots.
26
Example 5-5a
Answer The discriminant is 81, which is a
perfect square. Therefore, there are two
rational roots.
27
Example 5-5b
Answer 0 1 rational root
Answer 24 2 complex roots
Answer 5 2 irrational roots
Answer 64 2 rational roots
