    f (x) = 4x^2 - 25

    f (x) = 4x^2 - 25 = 0 implies 4x²=25, and x²=25/4, so the possible roots are

    x=sqrt (25/4 = 5/2 or x = - sqrt (25/4) = - 5/2

    so the answer is D. Yes.

    2)

    g (x) = 4x^2 + 25=0 implies 4x² = - 25 and since i² = - 1 (complex number)

    we can write 4x² = - 25 = 25i² so the possible root is x = sqrt (25i²/4) = 5i/2 or x = - sqrt (25i²/4) = - 5i/2

    the answer is A. No, this polynomial has complex roots

    3)

    h (x) = 3x^2 - 25=0 implies 3x²=25, x²=25/3 so the possible roots are x = - sqrt (25/3) = - 5/sqrt3 or x=sqrt (25/3) = 5/sqrt3

    the answer is B. No, this polynomial has irrational roots
