<p>As, by the <a href="page.php?w=fundamental_theorem_of_algebra">fundamental theorem of algebra</a>, the sum of the multiplicities of the roots of a polynomial equals the degree of the polynomial, the number of above solutions equals the order of the differential equation, and these solutions form</p><p>
