Question

help? according to the theorem of algebra, how many zeros does the function below have?
f (x) = 3x^4 + x + 2

Answer 1

Well generally speaking, there are x zeros for the largest exponent.

Answer 2

It has 4 zeros, the highest degree of the polynomial.

Answer 3

thanks guys

Answer 4

i have another problem dealing with this but its worded differently

Answer 5

it says which of the following is a zero for the function f (x) = (x-15)(x + 1)(x-10)

Answer 6

set each factor equal to 0.

Answer 7

There are 3 factors, so there are 3 zeros.

Answer 8

ok

Answer 9

I think the three zeros are 15, -1, and 10

Answer 10

Zeros are the opposite of the term that you're given in the factored form of a polynomial.
If it is x(x-2)(x+5), then the zeros would be 0, 2, and -5.
So in your example, the zeros would be 15,-1, and 10.

Answer 11

the answer choices are
x = -15
x= -10
x = 1
x = 15

Answer 12

A.

Answer 13

Wait no, D.

Answer 14

Fail.

Answer 15

care to explain please?

Answer 16

oh ok i understand
