Line segment AB with endpoints A(4, 12) and B(16, 8) lies in the coordinate plane. The segment will be dilated with a scale factor of 3/4 and a center at the origin to create segment A'B'. What will be the y-coordinate of point B?

Answer to your question: a. the fundamental theorem of algebra tells you that the equation will have two complex roots since the degree of the polynomial is 2. the roots are ​ x=1±i7√2 .number of roots=degree of polynomialhere, degree of polynomial is 2 so number of roots will be 2.hope it *_*
