At most how many unique roots will a fourth degree polynomial have?
4, the same as the degree of the polynomial.
How do you find out the number of imaginary zeros in a polynomial?
Descartes' rule of signs (see related link) can help you determine the maximum number of real roots. If the polynomial is odd powered, then there will be at least one real root. Any even powered polynomial can be factored into a bunch of quadratics [though they may not be rational or even pretty], and any odd-powered polynomial can be factored into a bunch of quadratics and one linear (this one would have the real root). So the quadratics may have pairs of real or complex roots (having an imaginary component).To clarify, when I say complex, I'm referring to the fact that there will be an imaginary component to the root, because actually the real numbers is a subset of the set of complex numbers.The order of the polynomial will tell you how many roots it will have. If you can graph the polynomial, then you can see if it crosses the x axis. If it is a 5th order polynomial, and crosses the x axis 3 times, then there are 3 real roots (the other two roots are complex).
How many irrational numbers are there between 1 and 6?
There are an infinite number of irrational numbers between 1 and 6. There are all the square roots from 1 to 36 except for 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, and 36. There are all the cube roots between 1 and 216 except for 1, 8, 27, 64, 125, 216. You can calculate fourth roots, fifth roots and continue calculating roots all year long. You should only have your supercomputer calculate irrational roots. Otherwise, you will duplicate. When you have calculated all roots of all prime numbers that fall between one and six, and added in all physical constants, then you will know the answer.
