what do u mean by "additional"?

$\sqrt{5}$ is THE square root of 5. how can it have an additional root?

anonymous · Answer

that's exactly what i'm wondering!
The instructions tell me : A polynomial equation with rational coefficients has the given two roots. Find two additional roots.

unless the problem gives u more information, i guess that u can just make it up. just pick two other numbers and say they r the roots.

u should ask your teacher. maybe he/she omited something.

anonymous · Answer

the additional roots would probably be negative*sqrt*5 and negative *sqrt*7 because there is no other root like you said. ill check with them though
