Out of these 3 types of zeros, a quartic function can only have 4 rational/irrational zeros, 2 rational/irrational zeros and 2 complex zeros, or 4 complex zeros. I was able to find how many positive and negative zeros I had using the Descartes Rule of Signs. Using the original equation, I counted from left to right, the amount of sign changes, and that gave me number of positive real zeros. I discovered 2 positive and 2…

Claude McKay’s poem “America”, expresses his feelings about the USA and describes he uses negative qualities about the country to fuel his own personal ambitions. Although McKay thinks America is great, he thinks that due to its ignorance, it is losing important factors to make it better. Mckay shows this through the use of symbolism of America 's qualities, the structural choice of a Shakespearean sonnet, and the shift of feeling in the last four lines of the poem. The first line of “America”…

organizing elements by atomic numbers and chemical properties into groups and periods. The periodic table was created in order to easily find and classify the different elements that are known. Elements are pure substances composed of just one type of atom that cannot be broken down into anything simpler by ordinary chemical means. Some examples are Oxygen, Carbon, Gold, and Silver. [Source A] An atomic number is the number of protons or electrons in an atom, the number that appears over the…
