Ms. holmes decided to water her plants. she had 2 1/2 gallons of water. she gave each plant 1/4 gallon of water. which expression could be used to determine how many plants ms. holmes had?

(1/4)x=2 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

It is 2.5 gal. of water and 0.25 gal. of water per plant.

It could also be x=(1/4)/(2 1/2)

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!

did u ever get the answers? i need
