Carries first three children were boys. If she has more children, they will all be boys. Is this deductive or inductive reasoning?

Inductive reasoning

Step-by-step explanation:

Inductive reasoning is when you make a false assumption based on previous knowledge you had before. The previous fact will often be referring to just a certain amount/set of things.

Deductive reasoning is when you have previous knowledge and you make a claim that is correct based on the knowledge before. The previous fact will often be referring to a whole set of things, not limited to a certain number.

The fact here is that Carrie's first three children were boys. This doesn't necessarily mean all of her upcoming children will be boys. So this is inductive reasoning.

Hope this helped!

no i do not : ( what is it?

the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

the root or roots of a polynomial are the values of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to 0. we can find the roots of a polynomial making the expression equal to 0 and then, isolating the variable (it it has just one variable).

for example, given the following polynomial:

the root or zero of the polynomial, can be found by making the expression equal to 0, and then, isolating the variable, so, finding the root we have:

therefore, we have that the root of the polynomial is equal to 2.

we must remember that the number of roots that a polynomial can have, will depend on the degree of the polynomial, a first degree polynomial have will have one single root, a second degree polynomial (quadratic expression) may have two roots and so.

hence the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

have a nice day!
