👉 In mathematics, a root is an element of a set that has a value that makes another expression equal to zero. For example, if we have a polynomial equation ax^n + b = 0, where n is a positive integer and a ≠ 0, then a root x of the equation is any element of the set of all real numbers such that its value multiplied by a equals zero. A multirooted algebraic expression is an algebraic expression with more than one root. For example
