document.write( "Question 44543: if i have a quintic function with two real zeros i know that one real zero has a multiplicy of 2 does that mean the other real zero has to have a multiplicty of three,if so how man imaginary zeros should i get? the same for a cubic if i have one real zero what is the multiplicty of it? \n" ); document.write( "
Algebra.Com's Answer #29426 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! if i have a quintic function with two real zeros i know that one real zero has a multiplicy of 2 does that mean the other real zero has to have a multiplicty of three? \n" ); document.write( "No, it doesn't tell you anything about the other three zeroes.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "How many imaginary zeros should i get? If you get one complex zero and \n" ); document.write( "if the coefficients of the polynomial are all real then you will have \n" ); document.write( "another complex zero called the conjugate of the 1st. That's about all \n" ); document.write( "you know. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The same for a cubic; if i have one real zero what is the multiplicty of it? \n" ); document.write( "Can't tell.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H> \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
