Answer:

6 roots

Explanation:

we know that

The number of roots is determined by the degree of the polynomial. They may be real or complex.

In this problem we have

f(x)=3x^(6)+2x^5+x^4-2x^3

The degree refers to the highest exponent of the polynomial

Since this is a 6th degree polynomial, it will have 6 roots
