Tessellate S.T.E.M.S - Mathematics - College - Set 3 - Problem 3

Calculus Level 5

Let p ( x ) p(x) be a polynomial of degree n n with complex coefficients, with k k distict complex roots. For a particular complex-valued sequence { a n } n 1 \{\displaystyle a_n \}_{n \geq 1} , the sequence { p ( a n ) } n 1 \displaystyle \{ p(a_n)\}_{n \geq 1} converges to 0 0 . Consider a convergent subsequence { b n } \{b_n\} of { a n } \{a_n\} , define L : = lim n b n \displaystyle L := \lim_{n\to \infty} b_n

How many distinct values can L L have?
