This question isn't very specific. Are you talking about the first Imperialism missions, or imperialism during the 1800s? The first imperial missions, conducted by Spain and Portugal were almost exclusively in search for a "North-west passage" or a route to Asia to increase accessibility to their spices and silk, which could be turned at a huge profit, by going west of Europe. Ultimately, all of these journeys were technically unsuccessful since none were able to reach Asia, however they did reach America. From there most of the Spanish explorers left for reasons of religious zeal (they wanted to force their religion, Christianity, on the native people they found), Curiosity (they just wanted to see the world) and and greed; because many of these explorers, particularly the Englishmen Sir Francis Drake, turned over huge profits.
During the latter half of the 18th century, during the "New Imperialism" things took a bit of a turn. By this time Germany had become an industrial giant overnight when they unified in 1870 as did Japan thanks the to the Meiji Restoration beginning in 1868, and the United States shelled up with high tariffs and just dumped their products on Europe. This forced the European nations to have to find other markets to dump their products, and so they turned to Africa. They also used the palm oil to help use their machines, and rubber to make tires. They also used imperialism to compete with other European nations, and used their interests in other nations as somewhat diplomatic strategies. Nations would also often force others into forced labor.

How many roots will a fifth-degree polynomial function have?
A fifth-degree polynomial function will have exactly five roots, counting multiplicities. This means that some of the roots may be repeated or complex, but the total number of roots, including these repetitions, will always equal five. If the polynomial has real coefficients, some of the roots may also be non-real complex numbers, which occur in conjugate pairs.

How many fifth roots does 243 have?
The number 243 can be expressed as (3^5). When finding the fifth roots of a number, we consider the equation (x^5 = 243). In the complex number system, any non-zero number has five distinct fifth roots, so 243 has a total of five fifth roots, which are evenly spaced on the complex plane.
