Priyanka and Ethan were asked to find an explicit formula for the sequence -3,-14,-25,-36,...−3,−14,−25,−36,.. .minus, 3, comma, minus, 14, comma, minus, 25, comma, minus, 36, comma, point, point, point
Priyanka said the formula is g(n)=-3-11ng(n)=−3−11ng, left parenthesis, n, right parenthesis, equals, minus, 3, minus, 11, n.
Ethan said the formula is g(n)=-3+11ng(n)=−3+11ng, left parenthesis, n, right parenthesis, equals, minus, 3, plus, 11, n.
Which one of them is right?

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!

step by step explanation: when u removing the parentheses and combined them that would be : x+3y-x-y=2y
