Question

Which best describes the roots to the equation represented by the graph above?

one real double root
one real root and one imaginary
two different real roots
two different imaginary roots

Answer 1

graph?

Answer 2

yea hold on :)

Answer 3

Since the graph intersects the x-axis at two distincts points, there are two different real roots.

Answer 4

thank you so much! so, if it intersects at x axis theres gonna be two different real roots always?

Answer 5

Yes. But if the graph intersects the x-axis in only one point, then there would be a single solution. No intersection with the x-axis would mean the roots are imaginary numbers (complex numbers).
