Q. 99299\sqrt{2} is a root of f(x)=x219,602f(x) = x^2 - 19,602. 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. Roots Analysis: Since 99299\sqrt{2} is a root, the other root will also be a real number because the coefficients of the polynomial are real.
  2. Sum of Roots: The sum of the roots of a quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0ax^2 + bx + c = 0 is ba-\frac{b}{a}. For f(x)=x219,602f(x) = x^2 - 19,602, a=1a = 1 and b=0b = 0, so the sum of the roots is 00.
  3. Finding Second Root: If one root is 99299\sqrt{2}, the other root must be 992-99\sqrt{2} to sum to 00.
  4. Product of Roots Check: Check the product of the roots: 99299\sqrt{2} * 992 -99\sqrt{2} = 19-19,602602. This matches the constant term cc of the polynomial, confirming our root is correct.
