 2.2    Find roots (zeroes) of :       F(b) = b² + 6
Polynomial Roots Calculator is a set of methods aimed at finding values of  b  for which   F(b)=0  

Rational Roots Test is one of the above mentioned tools. It would only find Rational Roots that is numbers  b  which can be expressed as the quotient of two integers

The Rational Root Theorem states that if a polynomial zeroes for a rational number  P/Q   then  P  is a factor of the Trailing Constant and  Q  is a factor of the Leading Coefficient

In this case, the Leading Coefficient is  1  and the Trailing Constant is  6.

 The factor(s) are:

of the Leading Coefficient :  1
 of the Trailing Constant :  1 ,2 ,3 ,6

 Let us test ....

Polynomial Roots Calculator found no rational roots

Equation at the end of step  2  :

  -b2 - 6  = 0 

Step  3  :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 3.1      Solve  :    -b²-6 = 0 

 Add  6  to both sides of the equation : 
                      -b² = 6
Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) :  b² = -6


 
 When two things are equal, their square roots are equal. Taking the square root of the two sides of the equation we get:  
                      b  =  ± √ -6  

 In Math,  i  is called the imaginary unit. It satisfies   i²  =-1. Both   i   and   -i   are the square roots of   -1 

Accordingly,  √ -6  =
                    √ -1• 6   =
                    √ -1 •√  6   =
                    i •  √ 6

The equation has no real solutions. It has 2 imaginary, or complex solutions.

                      b=  0.0000 + 2.4495 i 
                      b=  0.0000 - 2.4495 i 

Two solutions were found :

1.   b=  0.0000 - 2.4495 i 
   
2.   b=  0.0000 + 2.4495 i
