The fundamental theorem of algebra states that a polynomial with degree n has at most n solutions. The "at most" depends on the fact that the solutions might not all be real number.
In fact, if you use complex number, then a polynomial with degree n has exactly n roots.
So, in particular, a third-degree polynomial can have at most 3 roots.
In fact, in general, if the polynomial has solutions , then you can factor it as
So, a third-degree polynomial can't have 4 (or more) solutions, because otherwise you could write it as
But this is a fourth-degree polynomial.
1. find equation
general solutions are:
for P(0,-11)
⇒
for p(1,-13)
and
solve for a and b:
the total equation is now:

Answer:
$265.65
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
WACC: 9.00%
Year 0 1 2 3 Cash flows (-$1,000) $500 $500 $500
The NPV is calculated thus :
Initial cashflow + Σ additional cash flows / (1 + r)
Rate, r = 9% = 0.09
(1 + r) = (1 + 0.09) = 1.09
NPV = - 1000 + (500 / (1.09)¹ + (500 / 1.09)² + (500 / (1.09)³
NPV = - 1000 + 458.71559 + 420.83999 + 386.09174
NPV = 265.64732
NPV = 265.65 (2 DECIMAL PLACES)
