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.
A polynomial with two terms is called a binomial.
The general form of a quadratic equation is y = ax2 + bx + c, where a, b and c are real constants and a ≠0. If a = 0 then it is not a quadratic! There are two ways of classifying the forms. "CUP OR CAP" If a > 0 then the graph of the quadratic is cup shaped - like a U. If a < 0 then the graph is cap shaped - like an inverted U. "NUMBER OF ROOTS" Using the above form, calculate the discriminant, d = b2 - 4ac If d > 0 the quadratic has two real roots. That is, two distinct real values of x for which y = 0. If d = 0 the quadratic has two coincident real roots. (Some consider this as one root but it is useful to consider the situation as two roots that coincide since that approach maintains parity between the number of roots and the order of the polynomial.) If d < 0 there are no real roots. Instead, it has two complex roots which will be conjugates of one another.
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
It is binomial
There are none because the discriminant of the given quadratic expression is less than zero.
-2.5 + 1.6583123951777i-2.5 - 1.6583123951777i
x=11+69/2 and x=11-69/2
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)

x = -2.5 + 1.6583123951777ix = -2.5 - 1.6583123951777iwhere i is the square root of negative one.
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.
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.
To find the roots of the polynomial (x^2 + 3x - 5), we need to set the polynomial equal to zero and solve for x. So, (x^2 + 3x - 5 = 0). To solve this quadratic equation, we can use the quadratic formula: (x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}), where a = 1, b = 3, and c = -5. Plugging these values into the formula, we get (x = \frac{-3 \pm \sqrt{3^2 - 41(-5)}}{2*1}), which simplifies to (x = \frac{-3 \pm \sqrt{29}}{2}). Therefore, the two values of x that are roots of the polynomial are (x = \frac{-3 + \sqrt{29}}{2}) and (x = \frac{-3 - \sqrt{29}}{2}).
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.
A parabola is a graph of a 2nd degree polynomial function. Two graph a parabola, you must factor the polynomial equation and solve for the roots and the vertex. If factoring doesn't work, use the quadratic equation.
Such an equation has a total of six roots; the number of real roots must needs be even. Thus, depending on the specific equation, the number of real roots may be zero, two, four, or six.
