The concept of multiplicity is fundamental for Bézout's theorem, as it allows having an equality instead of a much weaker inequality. Intuitively, the multiplicity of a common zero of several polynomials is the number of zeros into which the common zero can split when the coefficients are slightly changed.
Suppose Q(x) = (x − α) r S(x) and S(α) ≠ 0, that is α is a root of Q(x) of multiplicity r. In the partial fraction decomposition, the r first powers of (x − α) will occur as denominators of the partial fractions (possibly with a zero numerator).
The graph crosses the x-axis at roots of odd multiplicity and does not cross it at roots of even multiplicity. A non-zero polynomial function is everywhere non-negative if and only if all its roots have even multiplicity and there exists an x 0 {\displaystyle x_{0}} such that f ( x 0 ) > 0 {\displaystyle f(x_{0})>0} .
8; 7 + 1; 6 + 2; 5 + 3; 5 + 2 + 1; 4 + 3 + 1; This is a general property. For each positive number, the number of partitions with odd parts equals the number of partitions with distinct parts, denoted by q(n). [8] [9] This result was proved by Leonhard Euler in 1748 [10] and later was generalized as Glaisher's theorem.
The fundamental theorem of algebra shows that any non-zero polynomial has a number of roots at most equal to its degree, and that the number of roots and the degree are equal when one considers the complex roots (or more generally, the roots in an algebraically closed extension) counted with their multiplicities.

For example, the rhamphoid cusp y 2 = x 5 has a singularity of order 2 at the origin. After blowing up at its singular point it becomes the ordinary cusp y 2 = x 3, which still has multiplicity 2. It is clear that the singularity has improved, since the degree of defining polynomial has decreased. This does not happen in general.
