Answer:

Being lost on this problem is well-earned. I don't know what the question is looking for. There appear to be no options, other than to identify some unique feature of the calculation.

If a polynomial has one root in the form of (a+
√(b)) and a second root in the form of (a-
√(b)) the polynomial must have the form of a^2 + b.

Explanation:

I'll take a guess at how this problem wants the sentence to end. We are told there are two roots a polynomial. We can write the polynomial as the product of both roots, which would be equal to zero:

(a+
√(b))*(a-
√(b))

Multiply the factors to obtain:

a^2 - a
√(b) + a
√(b) + (
√(b) )^2

a^2 + b

So one might say:

If a polynomial has one root in the form of (a+
√(b)) and a second root in the form of (a-
√(b)) the polynomial must have the form of a^2 + b.

But that's my guess at something that would be a true statement.
