The sum of two consecutive integers is at most 223.

what is the larger of the two integers?

Divide 223 by 2: 223/2 = 111.5

Then fix one number to 111.5 - 0.5 ann the other to 111.5 + 0.5

The two numbers are 111 and 112.

Then the answer is 112. 

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 *_*
