Question

Solve using the fundamental theorem of algerba
(x+7)^7

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\left(x+7\right)^7$

solving the expression

$\left(x+7\right)^7=0$

$\mathrm{Using\:the\:Zero\:Factor\:Principle:\quad \:If}\:ab=0\:\mathrm{then}\:a=0\:\mathrm{or}\:b=0\:\left(\mathrm{or\:both}\:a=0\:\mathrm{and}\:b=0\right)$

$\mathrm{Solve\:}\:x+7=0$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:}7\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}$

$x+7-7=0-7$

Simplify

$x=-7$

$\mathrm{The\:solution\:is}$

$x=-7$

• The fundamental theorem of algebra states that every polynomial function with a degree greater than or equal to 1 has at least 1 complex root.

A complex number follows this form

$a + ib$

Here:

• The term $a$ is the real part, and

• The term $bi$ is the imaginary part.

If b = 0, then the number is a real number.

As -7 has contains only the real part, so the root -7 is the real root.
