Holly put on the beautiful charcoal gown and placed the cap on her head like a crown. Her four years of school had reached the final chapter, and she would be walking across the stage to receive her diploma today. This was a bittersweet moment. While she would be celebrating her success as a star student, she would also be saying so long to her friends. She was honoured to be selected as valedictorian. When she reached the podium, the words leapt off the paper. Her voice cracked with emotion as she talked about how quickly time had flown by. She also mentioned many of the marvellous memories they made as a class.

c. side angle side. u shares the same sides

the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

the root or roots of a polynomial are the values of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to 0. we can find the roots of a polynomial making the expression equal to 0 and then, isolating the variable (it it has just one variable).

for example, given the following polynomial:

the root or zero of the polynomial, can be found by making the expression equal to 0, and then, isolating the variable, so, finding the root we have:

therefore, we have that the root of the polynomial is equal to 2.

we must remember that the number of roots that a polynomial can have, will depend on the degree of the polynomial, a first degree polynomial have will have one single root, a second degree polynomial (quadratic expression) may have two roots and so.

hence the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

have a nice day!

this is a good question! i’ll do some research and what i find, i’ll contact you asap when i have something! ✊
