For example, 1 equation in 1 variable
P(x) = adxd+ ad 1xd 1+ : : : + a1x + a0 ad 6= 0
(a polynomial of degree d in x)
P(x) = ad(x c1)(x c2) (x cd):
Therefore a polynomial of degree d always has exactly d
solutions or roots (when counted with multiplicity)
If one is interested in solutions that belong to R (or Q, or Zetc.), then the problem is much more complicated, but atleast we know that there are at most d solutions

Lines in the plane
Consider now 2 equations in 2 variables
For example 2 lines in the plane i.e
There are 3 cases
1 If the lines coincide (i.e if P1(x; y) = cP2(x; y) for some
0 6= c 2 C), then there are in nitely many solutions
