Find the 8th term of the arithmetic sequence - 2x + 7,4x + 1, 10x – 5, ...

Step-by-step explanation:

a1 = -2x + 7

d = 4x + 1 - (-2x + 7)

d = 4x + 1 + 2x - 7

d = 6x - 6

n = 8

a8 = -2x + 7 + (n-1)*d

a8 = -2x + 7 + (8 -1 ) * (6x - 6)

a8 = -2x + 7 + 7 * (6x - 6)

a8 = -2x + 7 + 42x - 42

a8 = 40x - 35

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!
