According to The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, how many zeros does the function

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

missing the function, but the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra says that there are n zeros if the degree is n

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ex: 3x^3+6x+9 = 0 has 3 zeros since the degree is 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f(x) = 4x3 – x2 – 2x + 1

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what is the degree of this function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for this one

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

any ideas?

ANY IDEA??

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what is the largest exponent on f(x) = 4x3 – x2 – 2x + 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4x^3

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

that's the first term, the exponent there is 3

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

So the degree is 3, which means that there are 3 zeros

What are the possible number of positive real, negative real, and complex zeros of f(x) = 6x3 – 3x2 + 5x + 9? Positive Real: 1 Negative Real: 0 Complex: 2 Positive Real: 1 Negative Real: 2 or 0 Complex: 2 or 0 Positive Real: 2 or 0 Negative Real: 1 Complex: 2 or 0 Positive Real: 2 or 0 Negative Real: 2 or 0 Complex: 1
