Given:

A polynomial equation with rational coefficients has the roots   [tex]5, \sqrt{6}, 3, -\sqrt{7}[/tex].

To find:

The two additional roots.

Solution:

According to the irrational root theorem, if [tex]a+\sqrt{b}[/tex] is a root of a polynomial, then [tex]a-\sqrt{b}[/tex] is also the root of that polynomial.

It is given that, [tex]\sqrt{6}\text{ and }-\sqrt{7}[/tex] are roots of a polynomial.

By using irrational root theorem, [tex]-\sqrt{6}\text{ and }\sqrt{7}[/tex] are also the roots of that polynomial.

Therefore, the two additional roots are [tex]-\sqrt{6}\text{ and }\sqrt{7}[/tex].
