How many solutions over the complex number system does this polynomial have? 2x^4-3x^3-24x^2+13x+12=0

Please show steps on how to solve.

There are no steps :P Be thankful that it's over the complex number system, and that it's not asking distinct solutions :) When you have a polynomial, and you need the number of complex solutions, it's simply the largest exponent :D

really? it seemed more difficult than that. Thank you.

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

That's because it's only asking for the number of solutions, and not for the solutions themselves. If it were that, then it'd be harder :D
