How do you different equations from expression?
An expression is a
number, a variable, or a
combination of numbers and
variables and operation
symbols. An equation is
made up of two expressions
connected by an equal sign.

What are the roots of a polynomial?
Roots of a polynomial refer to the
values of a variable for which the
given polynomial is equal to zero. If a
is the root of the polynomial p(x), then
p(a) = 0.

THEOREMS INVOLVED IN
FINDING ROOTS OF
POLYNOMIAL EQUATIONS
Complex roots are the imaginary
roots of equations, which are
represented as complex numbers.
Example 1. Find the roots of
+ – 5x – 6 = 0.
Example 2. Find the roots of
.
Example 3. Find the roots of
+.
Example 4. Find the roots of
.
