The flight of a bird's path from the ground can be modeled parametrically by the equations below. Where x (t) and y(t) are the horizontal arhi vertical positions (in feet), respectively, and t is the time in seconds. x(t) = t + 1 and y(t) = -2 + 2 + 8t for 0 < t < 4​

Answer to your question: a. the fundamental theorem of algebra tells you that the equation will have two complex roots since the degree of the polynomial is 2. the roots are ​ x=1±i7√2 .number of roots=degree of polynomialhere, degree of polynomial is 2 so number of roots will be 2.hope it *_*
