you buy a new computer for $2000. The computer decreases value by 25% each year. Given the equation V(t)=200(.75), where V represents the computers value in dollars and t represents the time in years. After how many years will the computer be worth half the original value? Help pls!!

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!

a magnifying glass is a convex lens which produces a magnified image of an object. for a magnified image to be observed the distance between the object and the lens has to be shorter than the focal length of the lens.
