n the following diagram, \overline{HI} HI start overline, H, I, end overline is parallel to \overline{JK} JK start overline, J, K, end overline. What is the measure of \blueD{\angle x}∠xstart color #11accd, angle, x, end color #11accd? Angles are not necessarily drawn to scale.

both equations and proportions are better.

c. 1,233 miles

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!
