Graph of a polynomial of degree 7, with 7 real roots (crossings of the x axis) and 6 critical points.Depending on the number and vertical location of the minima and maxima, the septic could have 7, 5, 3, or 1 real root counted with their multiplicity; the number of complex non-real roots is 7 minus the number of real roots.
An n th root of a number x, where n is a positive integer, is any of the n real or complex numbers r whose nth power is x: r n = x . {\displaystyle r^{n}=x.} Every positive real number x has a single positive n th root, called the principal n th root , which is written x n {\displaystyle {\sqrt[{n}]{x}}} .
The n th roots of unity allow expressing all n th roots of a complex number z as the n products of a given n th roots of z with a n th root of unity. Geometrically, the n th roots of unity lie on the unit circle of the complex plane at the vertices of a regular n-gon with one vertex on the real number 1.
For n > 4, the alternating group is simple (that is, it does not have any nontrivial normal subgroup) and not abelian. This implies that both and are not solvable for n > 4. Thus, the Abel–Ruffini theorem results from the existence of polynomials with a symmetric Galois group; this will be shown in the next section.

In mathematics, the nth cyclotomic polynomial, for any positive integer n, is the unique irreducible polynomial with integer coefficients that is a divisor of and is not a divisor of for any k < n. Its roots are all nth primitive roots of unity, where k runs over the positive integers less than n and coprime to n (and i is the imaginary unit).
