 P(x) = 3x⁴+4x-8 have?

• 1
• 2
• 3
• 4

Find all rational zeros, one zero has been given.
f(x) = x³-3x²-x+3;   3

• 2,4,3
• -1,1,3
• 3,2,1
• 4,5,6

A polynomial function with rational coefficients has the follow zeros: -1 + i and √5 . Find all additional zeros.

• 1 + i
• -√5 and 1 - i
• -√5 and -1 - i
• -1 - i

Determine the values of
a, b, and c for
the quadratic equation: 
4x² – 8x = 3

• a = 4, b = -8, c = 3
• a = 4, b =-8, c =-3
• a = 4, b = 8, c = 3
• a = 4, b = 8, c = -3

What is this formula?

• This is the speed of light formula.
• This is the quadratic formula.
• This is the zero product property.
• This is scary.
