A pentagon has two sides the same length, two sides which are each one-fourth that length, and the fifth side that is 24 inches. The perimeter is 144 inches. Write and solve an equation to find the length of each side of the pentagon.

Answer to your question: a. the fundamental theorem of algebra tells you that the equation will have two complex roots since the degree of the polynomial is 2. the roots are ​ x=1±i7√2 .number of roots=degree of polynomialhere, degree of polynomial is 2 so number of roots will be 2.hope it *_*
