Two roots of a 3-degree polynomial equation are 5 and -5. Which of the following cannot be the third root of the equation?

Select all that apply.

5

5i

0

-5

-5i

5i and -5i

Step-by-step explanation:

Imaginary roots come in pairs, so the third root must be a real number.  Therefore, neither 5i nor -5i can be the third root.

5i and -5i

Step-by-step explanation:

Both of these would have to be in the equation for either of them to work, and as the problem already told us that there is only a 3rd root, neither will be our answer.

Have a great day, and feel free to comment with questions!

this linear equation would have just one solution.

step-by-step explanation:

the reason why this would have one solution is that it is an expression with just one variable. since that variable is not raised to a power, it will always have just one solution.
