A zero of a function is a value that vanishes at a point. Every equation can be rewritten as a function equation. The number of roots of a polynomial equals its degree. Real polynomial of odd degree has an odd number of real roots
Cube root is a number y such that y³ = x. Real numbers have one real root and two complex conjugate roots. Complex numbers have three distinct complex cube roots. Principal cube root is defined as greatest real part of argument
Plants are autotrophs that make food through photosynthesis. Roots anchor plants and absorb nutrients from soil. Stem supports plant structure and transports water and minerals. Leaves contain chlorophyll for photosynthesis and transpiration
Inequality: (4²x + 1) + (-5 × 12x + 9x) / (1/log(2)) log(6x² - 11x + 4) ≤ 0. Corresponding equation: 4²x + 1 + (-5 × 12x + 9x) / (1/log(2)) log(6x² - 11x + 4) = 0
Trinomial p³-3p²+8p cannot be factored using splitting middle term. Trinomial p²+2p+6 cannot be factored using splitting middle term
Traditional system incorrectly defines roots as Greek/Latin roots that can't stand alone. Base words can stand alone when prefixes/suffixes are removed. System easily fails when teaching verb tenses
