Answer:

4 solutions

Explanation:

Given that

x⁴-3x³+6x²-12x+8=0.

The above equation is 4 th order equation because the highest power of x is 4.

As we know that n th order of equation have n number of solution and these solution is known as roots of the equation.

So the above equation have 4 solutions.

The solution of given equation is

x= -0.47+ 1.42 i

x = -0.47- 1.42 i

x= 0.85+ 0.39 i

x= 0.85 - 0.39 i
