the number of roots given by a polynomial may be identified by its highest degree

Answer 1

Total Number of Roots. On the page Fundamental Theorem of Algebra we explain that a polynomial will have exactly as many roots as its degree (the degree is the highest exponent of the polynomial)

Answer 2

Total Number of Roots. On the page Fundamental Theorem of Algebra we explain that a polynomial will have exactly as many roots as its degree (the degree is the highest exponent of the polynomial)
