Any real number - positive or negative - has exactly one real cube root. Any real number (except zero) has three cubic roots in the complex numbers; but only one of them is real.

What are all the real cube roots of 0.125?

They are 0.5 : it is a triple root.


What is the nonnegative square root?

Every positive real number has two square roots: one negative and one positive. As a result, the square root mapping is one-to-many and so is not a mathematical function. One way to make it a function is to restrict the range to non-negative real numbers. These are the non-negative square roots.


Are real numbers closed under the square root operation?

No. Negative numbers are real but their square roots are not.


What is the real number root of sqrt -144?

Negative numbers have no real square roots.-144 has two square roots: 12i and -12i.


Do every polynomial function has at least one complex zero?

No. Complex zeros always come in conjugate pairs. So if a+bi is one zero, then a-bi is also a zero.The fundamental theorem of algebra says"Every polynomial equation of degree n with complex coefficients has n roots in the complex numbers."If you want to know how many complex root a given polynomial has, you might consider finding out how many real roots it has. This can be done with Descartes Rules of signsThe maximum number of positive real roots can be found by counting the number of sign changes in f(x). The actual number of positive real roots may be the maximum, or the maximum decreased by a multiple of two.The maximum number of negative real roots can be found by counting the number of sign changes in f(-x). The actual number of negative real roots may be the maximum, or the maximum decreased by a multiple of two.Complex roots always come in pairs. That's why the number of positive or number of negative roots must decrease by two. Using the two rules for positive and negative signs along with the fact that complex roots come in pairs, you can determine the number of complex roots.
