maybe, it depend on what the question is.

If you are asking about solutions to algebraic equations (polynomials like x^2=-1 but also more complex like 3x^4+2x^3+x+2) then the general rule is that an nth order equation has n roots. They may be real (x^2=1 has 2 roots +1 and -1).

There are lots of other equations e.g. log(x)=-1 and which can have an infinite number of solutions if there are no limits on x. You don't need complex numbers for this, the number of solutions to sin(x)=0 is also infinite.

So for a general function f(x), if you are solving for f(x)=a, then the graph of some functions pass the value of a for multiple values of x.
