The left and right page numbers of an open book are two consecutive integers whose sum is 229

114, and 115

Step-by-step explanation:

114+115 = 229

114 and 115

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the pages are p

so

Left page = p

Right page = p+1

p(p+1) = 229

2p+ 1 = 229 we want to know what p is so isolate the variable:

      -1       -1

2p=228 Divide:

p=114

The pages are 114 and 115

Check: 114+115 = 229

Hope this helps :)

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!
