Over the weekend, trigg and craig drove to lake of the pines to go fishing. now they're preparing to go home. trigg needs gas for his jeep, which gets 27 miles per gallon for gas mileage. when he stops at the gas station, he already has 5 gallons of gas in his tank. he buys more gas for $1.25 per gallon. if trigg spends $23.50 on gas, what is the total distance the boys could travel? round, if necessary to the nearest tenth

answer: 1, 3 and 5 are correct

step-by-step explanation:

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!
