Rectangle ABCD, B, C, D is graphed in the coordinate plane. The following are the vertices of the rectangle: A(-4, -2)A(−4,−2)A, left parenthesis, minus, 4, comma, minus, 2, right parenthesis, B(-2, -2)B(−2,−2)B, left parenthesis, minus, 2, comma, minus, 2, right parenthesis, C(-2, 7)C(−2,7)C, left parenthesis, minus, 2, comma, 7, right parenthesis, and D(-4, 7)D(−4,7)D, left parenthesis, minus, 4, comma, 7, right parenthesis. What is the area of rectangle ABCD
, B, C, D?

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!
