Total Number of Roots. On the page Fundamental Theorem of Algebra we explain that a polynomial will have exactly as many roots as its degree (the degree is the highest exponent of the polynomial). So we know one more thing: the degree is 5 so there are 5 roots in total.
since the the highest degree is 12 from x12 - 1, so the answer is B
