Three roots of a fifth degree polynomial function f(x) are -2,2 and 4 + i which statement describes the number and nature of all roots for this function?

f(x) has three real roots and two imaginary roots.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that three roots of a fifth degree polynomial function f(x) are -2,2 and (4+i).

Now we need to find about which of the given statements describes the number and nature of all roots for this function.

We know that imaginary roots always occur in conjugate pairs.

So if (4+i) is root then (4-i) must also be the root.

So now we have total 4 roots

-2, 2, (4+i) and (4-i).

Degree of the polynomial is 5 so that means 1 root is still remaining. It can't be imaginary as that must be in pairs

So that means 5th root is real.

Hence correct choice is :

f(x) has three real roots and two imaginary roots.

answer is x<

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
