(a) use the fundamental theorem of algebra to determine the number of roots for 2x^2+4x+7 (b) what are the roots of 2x^2+4x+7 ? show your work.

(a)

the theorem states that for a polynomial of degree n there are n roots. However they may be complex.

2x² + 4x + 7 is a polynomial of degree 2 ( indicated by largest exponent of the polynomial )

Hence there are 2 roots

(b)

To solve use the quadratic formula

x = ( - b ±√(b² - 4ac) ) / 2a

with a = 2, b= 4 and c = 7

x = (- 4 ± √(16 - 56) ) / 4

  = (- 4 ± √(- 40 ) ) / 4

  = ( - 4 ± 2i√10) / 4

  = - 1 ± i√10

answer: the dogs need to shift their focus to human scent.

its because the dogs being trained are for search and rescue thus they need to be able to track humans and their specific scent
