Question

If a polynomial has degree n,the number of utmost zero can be

Answer 1

Answer:

unpredictable

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the polynomial is non-constant and has Real coefficients, it can have up to n Real zeros. If n is odd then it will have at least one Real zero. Since any non-Real Complex zeros will occur in Complex conjugate pairs the possible number of Real roots counting multiplicity is an even number less than n .

Answer 2

Answer:

n+1

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the polynomial is non-constant and has Real coefficients, it can have up to n Real zeros. If n is odd then it will have at least one Real zero. Since any non-Real Complex zeros will occur in Complex conjugate pairs the possible number of Real roots counting multiplicity is an even number less than n .
