Frances added two numbers and the resulting sum was an irrational number. If the first Humber was 5/4, which of the following number types could the second number have been? Integer, irrational number, natural number, rational number

5

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!

answer: 7. if the functions had a negative leading coefficient and is of even degree, which statement about the graph is true?

step-by-step explanation:

the answer to this is a. a^2 + b^2 = c^2
