Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If a polynomial f(x) = x^2 - 4, what are its roots?
Correct Answer: ±2
  • Step 1: Start with the polynomial f(x) = x^2 - 4.
  • Step 2: To find the roots, set f(x) equal to 0: x^2 - 4 = 0.
  • Step 3: Rearrange the equation to isolate x^2: x^2 = 4.
  • Step 4: Take the square root of both sides: x = ±√4.
  • Step 5: Calculate the square root: x = ±2.
  • Step 6: The roots of the polynomial are x = 2 and x = -2.
