The answer is two.

Despite its name seems to suggest something to do with four, in a quadratic equation

the unknown appears at most to the power of two and so is said to be of second degree.

The theorem than pertains here is that the number of roots an equation has is equal to

its degrees. However, some of the roots can be repeated - an nth degree equation need

not have n different roots. Also the roots do not have to be real. However complex roots

( no real) come in pairs so an equation of odd degree must have at least one real root.

A quadratic possibly has no real roots.
