Practice makes perfect

We want to find the number of roots for the given equation.

- x^5-6=0 Recall the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra. IfP(x)is a polynomial of degree n≥1, thenP(x)=0has exactly nroots. This rule includes rational roots, complex roots, and repeated roots. Since the degree of the polynomial on the left-hand side of the equation is 5, the equation has 5 roots.
