This problem is so easy it's funny

OpenStudy (empty):

@AlexandervonHumboldt2 wrong, how many real roots does this polynomial have? \[f(x) = x^2+ 14\]

OpenStudy (empty):

I don't know how to do this without graphing it, but the graph shows 3 zeroes @Gabylovesyou http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=f(x)%20%3D%204x11%20%E2%88%92%2020x7%20%2B%202x3%20%E2%88%92%2015x%20%2B%2014%20&t=crmtb01

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

i made a mistake sorry

imqwerty (imqwerty):

yea ur correct

OpenStudy (owlcoffee):

The highest exponent represents how many solutions we can find for the equation, now the roots for the plane are limited by the real numbers. This means that all solutions for \(f(x)=0\) are not necessarily real numbers, so they will become complex, therefore they can't be counted as roots.

\[x^2+14~ has~ no~ real~ root.\]

imqwerty (imqwerty):

number of real roots=3
