gollark: Well. There's a cubic formula, but it's long and nobody likes it.
gollark: No.
gollark: x³ + x² + x + 1 = 0 has 3 solutions because it has a degree of 3 for instance.
gollark: It's not "raised to" anything. For this the degree is just the maximum power it contains.
gollark: With reals it's n or less which is bad and nobody likes it.
