| − | The '''Fundamental theorem of algebra''' states that every non-[[zero]] single-[[variable]] [[polynomial]], (possibly with [[complex number|complex]] [[coefficient]]s), has exactly as many complex roots or solutions, as its degree (the highest power the variable is raised to), if repeated roots are counted when they occur. | + | The '''Fundamental theorem of algebra''' states that every non-[[zero]] single-[[variable]] [[polynomial]], (possibly with [[complex number|complex]] [[coefficient]]s), has exactly as many complex roots, or solutions, as its degree (the highest power the variable is raised to), if repeated roots are counted when they occur. |
