NONE If both roots are imaginary, the means the parabola does NOT cross the x-axis at all. The place where a function crosses the x- axis has the coordinate (x,0) for some value of x. That means if you plug in x to the function or polynomial, you get 0. This is equivalent to saying that x is a root of the polynomial. But if the only roots are imaginary, there will be no point (x,0) for any real number x.

Is the product of two imaginary numbers always an imaginary number?

If you are talking about pure imaginary numbers (a complex number with no real part) then no. Example: bi times ci where b and c are real numbers equals b*c*i² = b*c*(-1) = -b*c, which is a real number, because b & c & -1 are all real numbers. If you're talking about multiplying two complex numbers (a + bi)*(c + di), then the product will be complex, but it could be real or imaginary, depending on the values of a, b, c, & d.


How do you do cross cancellation?

Divide the numbers that are diagonal from each other, but there are times when this does not work.


What is 4 times the square root of 3 times 2?

4 times the square root of 5. it's undefinable so that's the most you can simplify it without using imaginary numbers


What is the meaning of coefficients?

3xy -- 3 is the coefficient of the variables x and y All these are being multiplied -- 3 times x times y Definition of coefficient -- A numerical value multiplied by a variable. Numerical values are not only whole numbers, but can be fractions (rational numbers), negative numbers, irrational numbers and imaginary numbers.


What is a difference between an imaginary and an irrational number?

An irrational number is a subset of the set of real numbers. So a rational number is an number which can be expresses as a ratio (fraction) of a/b where a is any integer, and b is any nonzero integer. Note that integers are real numbers. So irrational numbers are all real numbers which are not rational numbers.Note that all of the numbers so far are real numbers. Now for imaginary numbers. Look at the KhanAcademy video or MathsIsFun.Take a number -1 and try to square root. Note that (-1) times (-1) equals positive 1. So we created a number i, which when squared equals -1. This is the imaginary unit number. Now you can take any real number, and multiply that by i to get any imaginary number.

How do you find the square root of negative numbers?

For most school mathematics, negative numbers do not have square roots. This is because a negative number multiplied by itself is a negative times a negative and so is positive. When (if) you study advanced mathematics, you will learn that there is a solution and this falls within the realms of complex mathematics and imaginary numbers.


Math questions with the answer 336?

24 times 14 equals 336 48 times 7 equals 336 there is an infinite number of ways to get to 336. definitely when you include imaginary numbers


Why does negative 2 times negative 2 equal 4?

Because when two negative numbers times each other the answer is always a positive. It is a maths term and it is true (cross my heart).
