Q. 79779\sqrt{7} is a root of f(x)=x243,687f(x) = x^2 - 43,687. Find the other roots of f(x)f(x).\newlineWrite your answer as a list of simplified values separated by commas, if there is more than one value.
  1. Identify Roots: Since 79779\sqrt{7} is a root, the other root will be its opposite because the sum of the roots of a quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0ax^2 + bx + c = 0 is b/a-b/a, and here a=1a = 1 and b=0b = 0. So the other root is 797-79\sqrt{7}.
  2. Check Roots Using Formula: Now, let's check the roots by using the quadratic formula x=b±b24ac2ax = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}. Since b=0b = 0, the formula simplifies to x=±4ac2ax = \pm\frac{\sqrt{-4ac}}{2a}. For our equation, a=1a = 1 and c=43,687c = -43,687, so we substitute these values in.
  3. Calculate Discriminant: Calculating the discriminant: b24ac=04(1)(43,687)=174748.\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} = \sqrt{0 - 4(1)(-43,687)} = \sqrt{174748}.
  4. Simplify Discriminant: Simplifying the discriminant: 174748=4181=418\sqrt{174748} = 418\sqrt{1} = 418, because the square root of 11 is 11.
