@ryanvarghese12790 it has to be either C or D..do you know the answer?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@amistre64 another question similar to the other. I cant tell if its C or D.
OpenStudy (amistre64):
rule of sign, how many possible negative roots do we have?
OpenStudy (amistre64):
no negative roots, so that leaves us with x=9 as the only reasonable answer.
divide out the x=9 and see whats left over.

1 -9 9 -81
0 9 0 81
9 1 0 9 0
x^2 + 9 = 0 gives the complex parts
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes so we know 9 is a root. i knew that. i just dont know how to find the other number.
OpenStudy (amistre64):
ok, D is good, sqrt(-9) is 3i
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how do you find the 3i?
OpenStudy (amistre64):
i worked a synthetic division method to determine what we had left over when we divide out x-9

x^2 + 9 = 0 is whats left, solve for x
