What is the relationship between the degree of a polynomial and the number of roots it has?

In answering this question it is important that the roots are counted along with their multiplicity. Thus a double root is counted as two roots, and so on.
The degree of a polynomial is exactly the same as the number of roots that it has in the complex field.
If the polynomial has real coefficients, then a polynomial with an odd degree has
an odd number of roots up to the degree, while a polynomial of even degree has an even number of roots up to the degree. The difference between the degree and the number of roots is the number of complex roots which come as complex conjugate pairs.

What is the difference between Cardinality and Degree?

What is the relationship between the degree and the number of roots counting multiplicities?
In the complex field, the two numbers are the same. If you restrict yourself to real solutions, the relationship is as follows: A polynomial of degree p has p-2k real solutions where k is an integer such that p-2k is non-negative. [There will be 2k pairs of complex conjugate roots.]

Is it true that the degree of polynomial function determine the number of real roots?
Sort of... but not entirely. Assuming the polynomial's coefficients are real, the polynomial either has as many real roots as its degree, or an even number less. Thus, a polynomial of degree 4 can have 4, 2, or 0 real roots; while a polynomial of degree 5 has either 5, 3, or 1 real roots. So, polynomial of odd degree (with real coefficients) will always have at least one real root. For a polynomial of even degree, this is not guaranteed. (In case you are interested about the reason for the rule stated above: this is related to the fact that any complex roots in such a polynomial occur in conjugate pairs; for example: if 5 + 2i is a root, then 5 - 2i is also a root.)
