Is it true that the degree of polynomial function determine the number of real roots?
Sort of... but not entirely. Assuming the polynomial's coefficients are real, the polynomial either has as many real roots as its degree, or an even number less. Thus, a polynomial of degree 4 can have 4, 2, or 0 real roots; while a polynomial of degree 5 has either 5, 3, or 1 real roots. So, polynomial of odd degree (with real coefficients) will always have at least one real root. For a polynomial of even degree, this is not guaranteed.
(In case you are interested about the reason for the rule stated above: this is related to the fact that any complex roots in such a polynomial occur in conjugate pairs; for example: if 5 + 2i is a root, then 5 - 2i is also a root.)

What is the leading coefficient in a polynomial?
It is the number (coefficient) that belongs to the variable of the highest degree in a polynomial.
What is the difference between a transcendental an algebraic function?
An algebraic function is a function built from polynomial and combined with +,*,-,/ signs. The transcendental it is not built from polynomial like X the power of Pie plus 1. this function is transcendental because the power pi is not integer number in result it can't be a polynomial.
How do you find the degree of polynomials?
First look at the degree of each term: this is the power of the variable. The highest such number, from all the terms in the polynomial is the degree of the polynomial. Thus x2 + 1/7*x + 3 has degree 2. x + 7 - 2x3 + 0.8x5 has degree 5.

What is the maximum number of relative extrema contained in the graph of this function?
The maximum number of relative extrema in the graph of a function is determined by the number of critical points, which occur where the first derivative is zero or undefined. For a polynomial function of degree ( n ), there can be up to ( n - 1 ) relative extrema. Therefore, if you know the degree of the function, you can use this information to determine the maximum number of relative extrema it can have.
How you write a polynomal function with least degree?
To write a polynomial function of least degree that fits given points, identify the x-values and corresponding y-values you want the function to pass through. The least degree polynomial is determined by the number of unique points: for ( n ) points, the least degree polynomial is ( n-1 ). Use methods such as polynomial interpolation (e.g., Lagrange interpolation or Newton's divided differences) to construct the polynomial that meets these conditions, ensuring it passes through all specified points.
Can a polynomial have more zeros than the highest degree of the function?
no a plynomial can not have more zeros than the highest (degree) number of the function at leas that is what i was taught. double check the math.
Is the number of y-intercepts for a polynomial determined by the degree of the polynomial?
no...
What are the kind of polynomial according to the number of degree?
Polynomials are classified based on their degree as follows: a polynomial of degree 0 is a constant polynomial, of degree 1 is a linear polynomial, of degree 2 is a quadratic polynomial, of degree 3 is a cubic polynomial, and of degree 4 is a quartic polynomial. Higher degree polynomials continue with quintic (degree 5), sextic (degree 6), and so on. The degree indicates the highest exponent of the variable in the polynomial.
How many unique roots will a fourth degree polynomial function have?
A fourth degree polynomial function can have up to four unique roots. However, the actual number of unique roots can be fewer, depending on the polynomial's coefficients and the nature of its roots. Roots can be real or complex, and some roots may be repeated (multiplicity). Thus, the number of unique roots can range from zero to four.
How many unique roots are possible ina sixth degree polynomoal function?
A sixth-degree polynomial function can have up to six unique roots. However, the actual number of unique roots can be fewer than six, depending on the specific polynomial and whether some roots are repeated (multiplicity). According to the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, the total number of roots, counting multiplicities, will always equal the degree of the polynomial, which is six in this case.
Is 13 a polynomial If it is find its degree and classify it by the number of its terms?
13 is not a polynomial.
What is the relationship between the degree of a polynomial and the number of roots it has?
In answering this question it is important that the roots are counted along with their multiplicity. Thus a double root is counted as two roots, and so on. The degree of a polynomial is exactly the same as the number of roots that it has in the complex field. If the polynomial has real coefficients, then a polynomial with an odd degree has an odd number of roots up to the degree, while a polynomial of even degree has an even number of roots up to the degree. The difference between the degree and the number of roots is the number of complex roots which come as complex conjugate pairs.
What is the leading coefficient in a polynomial?
It is the number (coefficient) that belongs to the variable of the highest degree in a polynomial.
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.
