Q. Use the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra to find the number of complex roots of the polynomial, including any repeated roots. \newlinex617x5+19x4+18x311x2+16x16x^6 - 17x^5 + 19x^4 + 18x^3 - 11x^2 + 16x - 16\newline____
  1. Identify highest power of x: Look at the highest power of xx in the polynomial x617x5+19x4+18x311x2+16x16x^6 - 17x^5 + 19x^4 + 18x^3 - 11x^2 + 16x - 16, which is 66.
  2. Apply Fundamental Theorem of Algebra: According to the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, a polynomial of degree nn has exactly nn complex roots, counting multiplicity.
  3. Determine number of complex roots: Since the degree of the polynomial is 66, the number of complex roots is also 66.
