There would be 30 people pulling it. To work it out you do 16 divided by 8=2. Then you do 60 divided by 2= 30.<u />

How many solutions over the complex number system does this polynomial

Luda [366]

Answer:

4 solutions counting any possible multiplicity

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that if one considers the Complex Number System, a polynomial has as many solutions (including multiplicity) as its degree.

So in this case, where we are considering a polynomial of order 4 Notice that the term $-\,33\,x^4$ , is in reality the leading term (term with the highest power of the variable) of this polynomial.
