A real root, satisfy f(r) =0, look at the graph of the functions. what you could satate about the real roots of f,g and h 1) f and h have a real root in commun 2) g has 4 real roots 3)f and g have a real root in commun 4) h has a real root

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Use the given information/clue

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

A real root has to satisfy f(r) = 0

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

that means, the function has to become 0 at x=r

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Look at each graph, how many places do they cut x-axis ?

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

i know the roots are when there is no height i mean when the graph has an intercept in the x- coordinate

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

good :) look at the graph for "h", it stays ABOVE the x axis and it never cuts the x axis right ?

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

but I've been looking for a while and non of the options are correct for me

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

i know that

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so that means, "h" has NO real roots whatsoever

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

that means has no real roots

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yup ! having that knowledge, which two options u can eliminate safely ?

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

it seems like the answer should be 3)

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

is the most closely to an answer

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

C is right

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

notice that "g" and "f" are intersecting eachother at same place on x-axis

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

^^thats the common root

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

altought, according to the graph, . ..

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

agree that graph is bit off

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

i mean, maybe they shoulnd't print out like this "imprecisely

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

Anyway, thanks a lot bro!

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes lol wait im seeing the graph from a different angle

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

that graph is so weird lol
