What are all of the real roots of the following polynomial? f(x) = x4 - x3 - 13x2 + x + 12

We can find roots by setting f(x) = 0 --> x^4 - x^3 - 13x^2 + x + 12 = 0.

Factoring f(x) to make things easier for us gives us (x - 1)(x + 1)(x - 4)(x + 3), which, equal to 0, gives us the ability to set each set of parentheses = 0.

x - 1 = 0 gives us x = 1.

x + 1 = 0 --> x = -1.

x - 4 = 0 --> x = 4.

x + 3 = 0 --> x = -3.

our roots are x = 1, -1, 4, and -3.

there are many solutions.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

4x+6=4x^2+10x−4

step 2: subtract 4x^2+10x-4 from both sides.

4x+6−(4x^2+10x−4)=4x^2+10x−4−(4x^2+10x−4)

−4x^2−6x+10=0

step 3: factor left side of equation.

−2(2x+5)(x−1)=0

step 4: set factors equal to 0.

x=-5/2 or x=1

the answer is; biodiversity resulting from few ancestors

adaptive radiation occurs when a population is subjected to a large natural environment with spatial ecological variations. the parts of the population in the different ecologies begin to adapt to their local environments. due to non-random mating across the large populations, this causes the different populations from the large population to speciate within their local environments. they, therefore, diverge to different species sharing a common ancestor.
