why is it important to consider multiplicity when determining the roots of a polynomial equation
Multiplicity (mathematics) The notion of multiplicity is important to be able to count correctly without specifying exceptions (for example, double roots counted twice). Hence the expression, "counted with multiplicity".
Linear search For a list with n items, the best case is when the value is equal to the first element of the list, in which case only one comparison is needed. The worst case is when the value is not in the list (or occurs only once at the end of the list), in which case n comparisons are needed.
Import quota Quotas, like other trade restrictions, are typically used to benefit the producers of a good in that economy.
Hermitian matrix The diagonal elements must be real, as they must be their own complex conjugate.
Hundreds and thousands Hundreds and thousands used incorrectly instead of hundreds of thousands to mean "an indefinite but emphatically large number".
