According to the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, how many roots exist for the polynomial function? open paren 9 x plus 7 close paren times open paren 4 x plus 1 close paren times open paren 3 x plus 4 close paren is equal to 0

The polynomial is the product of three linear factors: (9x + 7), (4x + 1), and (3x + 4). Its degree is 1 + 1 + 1 = 3, so the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra says it has 3 roots, counting multiplicity. The correct choice is “3 roots.”
