Hi Ananya,

Consider the quadratic equation,x2 +4x+4

The degree of the quadratic equation is 2.

However, if you solve this equation and find the roots, you will realise that you will get only 1 root, that is '2'.

This is cause the roots are repeated. 

That is, why we say atmost which means maximum n roots. 

The same holds for an equation with degree n.

We can always have some equations which have equal (that is, repeated) roots.

Hence, we use the word ATMOST.
