8 games and one console. How much wrapping paper
does Aaron use? Use Exercises 1-3 to answer
the question.

gaming console takes 4.1/3 feet of wrapping paper

game takes 1.2/3 feet of wrapping paper

1. Draw bar diagrams and write equations to represent
the problem.

2. What previously learned math can you use to solve the problem?

3. How much wrapping paper does Aaron use? Explain.

n

step-by-step explanation:

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.
