Use the quadratic polynomial x2 + 4x + 4 to answer the questions. A: Which summary correctly applies the fundamental Theorem to the quadratic polynomial?
B: Which statement correctly verifies the application of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra?
Select one answer for question A, and select one answer for question B.
A: This polynomial has a degree of 2, so the equation x2 + 4x + 4 = 0 has exactly two roots.
A: This polynomial has a degree of 2, so the equation x2 + 4x + 4 = 0 has two or fewer roots.
A: This polynomial has a degree of 2, so the equation x2 + 4x + 4 = 0 has more than two roots.
B: The quadratic equation x2 + 4x + 4 = 0 has two real solutions, x = -2 or x = 2, and
therefore has two real roots.
B: The quadratic equation x2 + 4x + 4 = 0 has one real solution, x = -2, and therefore has one
real root with a multiplicity of 2.
B: The quadratic equation x2 + 4x + 4 = 0 has three real solutions, x = 2, x = -2, and x = 0,
and therefore has three real roots.
