x2 + 3x - 5 is an expression, not an equation. An equation may have roots, an expression does not.

However, x2 + 3x - 5 = 0 is an equation and its roots are -4.1926 and 1.1926 (approx).

Which two values of x are roots of the polynomial below x2 plus 5x plus 9?

x = -2.5 + 1.6583123951777ix = -2.5 - 1.6583123951777iwhere i is the square root of negative one.


Which two values of x are roots of the polynomial below x2-3x 5?

It is difficult to tell because there is no sign (+ or -) before the 5. +5 gives complex roots and assuming that someone who asked this question has not yet come across complex numbers, I assume the polynomial is x2 -3x - 5 The roots of this equation are: -1.1926 and 4.1926 (to 4 dp)


How to tell if there are no real roots?

The real roots of what, exactly? If you mean a square trinomial, then: If the discriminant is positive, the polynomial has two real roots. If the discriminant is zero, the polynomial has one (double) real root. If the discriminant is negative, the polynomial has two complex roots (and of course no real roots). The discriminant is the term under the square root in the quadratic equation, in other words, b2 - 4ac.


What is the relationship between the degree of a polynomial and the number of roots it has?

In answering this question it is important that the roots are counted along with their multiplicity. Thus a double root is counted as two roots, and so on. The degree of a polynomial is exactly the same as the number of roots that it has in the complex field. If the polynomial has real coefficients, then a polynomial with an odd degree has an odd number of roots up to the degree, while a polynomial of even degree has an even number of roots up to the degree. The difference between the degree and the number of roots is the number of complex roots which come as complex conjugate pairs.


The graph of a polynomial changes direction twice and has only one root What can you say about the polynomial?

It is a polynomial of odd power - probably a cubic. It has only one real root and its other two roots are complex conjugates. It could be a polynomial of order 5, with two points of inflexion, or two pairs of complex conjugate roots. Or of order 7, etc.


Which two values of x are roots of the polynomial below 3x2-3x 1?

Unfortunately, limitations of the browser used by Answers.com means that we cannot see most symbols. It is therefore impossible to give a proper answer to your question. Please resubmit your question spelling out the symbols as "plus", "minus", "times", "equals". There is no sign (plus or minus) before the final 1.


Is 4 - 3x plus 5x2 a polynomial?

Yes. If you add, subtract or multiply (but not if you divide) any two polynomials, you will get a polynomial.


What is x to the second power plus x to the fifth power?

It is a fifth order polynomial. The two terms cannot be combined, except to factor out x² and get x²(x³ + 1). This can be solved for 5 roots: 0, 0, -1, and two complex roots: 1/2 ± i(√3)/2


How do the zeros of a polynomial function help you determine the answer?

They tell you where the graph of the polynomial crosses the x-axis.Now, taking the derivative of the polynomial and setting that answer to zero tells you where the localized maximum and minimum values occur. Two values that have vast applications in almost any profession that uses statistics.
