Question

I will award medal!!!!!!
PLEASE HELP !!!!!!

Answer 1

@whpalmer4 @jim_thompson5910 @satellite73

Answer 2

I can't help but think that you must have some course materials that touch on this :-)

I'm happy to explain them to you if there's an issue with understanding them, but you really need to have a grasp of them yourself, or you shouldn't go on until you do.

Answer 3

I will but I have no teacher to explain or answer my questions

Answer 4

the rational root theorem allows you to list all the possible rational roots

Answer 5

That shirt was cool.

Answer 6

Descartes’ Rule of Signs allows you to count how many possible

a) positive real roots
b) negative real roots
c) complex roots

there are

Answer 7

I'm going to let jim answer so you get a coherent viewpoint. If you still have questions when he's done, tag me again and I'll try to clear them up.

Answer 8

Ok.

Answer 9

you can go ahead whpalmer4, I'm basically done with what I needed to say

Answer 10

I was just thinking how concise that was, and drawing a blank on what I could possibly add :-)

Answer 11

you can add more and go into more depth of course (I'm sure there are pages and pages of lessons on both), but I think I got the basics of it

Answer 12

Ok the thing is that I am 14 and honestly I did not understand your voca bulary so in baby language please

Answer 13

If you want an explanation of why the rational root theorem works, we could certainly do that. I'm not sure I'm up to an explanation of why Descartes works, but I can describe how to use it.

Answer 14

"the rational root theorem allows you to list all the possible rational roots"

The RRT tells you that if there are any rational roots (and there aren't guaranteed to be any!), they are made up from the factors of the constant term (the number at the end without any variable), and the term with the highest exponent.

Answer 15

Descartes' Rule of Signs helps you analyze the breakdown of the roots, but doesn't give you much assistance in finding out exactly what they are. So, you can find out that you have 1 or 3 positive, real roots, but you're on your own for finding x = .

Answer 17

Thank you all so so so much

Answer 18

Do you want a brief explanation of how the rational root theorem works? Or how to use Descartes?

Answer 19

No thnk you so much

Answer 20

It's not really part of the answer to your question, but if you don't have a teacher to talk to about it...

Answer 21

Okay, well, you know where to find us :-)
