The fundamental theorem of algebra states that a polynomial with degree n has at most n solutions. The "at most" depends on the fact that the solutions might not all be real number.
In fact, if you use complex number, then a polynomial with degree n has exactly n roots.
So, in particular, a third-degree polynomial can have at most 3 roots.
In fact, in general, if the polynomial
has solutions
, then you can factor it as

So, a third-degree polynomial can't have 4 (or more) solutions, because otherwise you could write it as

But this is a fourth-degree polynomial.
Answer:
16 cups of formula
Step-by-step explanation:
you take 16 (<em>the amount of bottles)</em> and multiply it by 4 (<em>the amount one bottle holds</em>)
which gets you 64 then you multiply that by 2 (<em> the amount of children</em>)
which gets you 128
then you divide by 8, because there are <em>8 fl oz in a cup</em>
which gets you 16
