A root is the value of the variable (usually, x) for which the polynomial is zero. Equivalently, a root is an x-value at which the graph crosses the x-axis.
A value of the variable when the polynomial has a value of 0. Equivalently, the value of the variable when the graph of the polynomial intersects the variable axis (usually the x-axis).
1+x2 is a polynomial and doesn't have a real root.

The degree is equal to the maximum number of times the graph can cross a horizontal line.

A root or a zero of the polynomial.
A value of the variable when the polynomial has a value of 0. Equivalently, the value of the variable when the graph of the polynomial intersects the variable axis (usually the x-axis).
A root of a polynomial is a value of the variable for which the polynomial evaluates to zero. In other words, if ( p(x) ) is a polynomial, then a number ( r ) is a root if ( p(r) = 0 ). Roots can be real or complex and are critical for understanding the behavior and graph of the polynomial function. The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra states that a polynomial of degree ( n ) has exactly ( n ) roots, counting multiplicities.

To determine the factorization of a polynomial based on its graph, you need to identify its roots (x-intercepts) and the behavior of the graph at those points. If the graph crosses the x-axis at a root, that root corresponds to a linear factor, while if it just touches the axis, it indicates a repeated factor. Please provide information about the specific roots or characteristics of the graph for a more precise factorization.
It is a polynomial of odd power - probably a cubic. It has only one real root and its other two roots are complex conjugates. It could be a polynomial of order 5, with two points of inflexion, or two pairs of complex conjugate roots. Or of order 7, etc.
Either graph the polynomial on graph paper manually or on a graphing calculator. If it is a "y=" polynomial, then the zeroes are the points or point where the polynomial touches the x-axis. If it is an "x=" polynomial, then the zeroes are the points or point where the polynomial touches the y-axis. If it touches neither, then it has no zeroes.
The polynomial function can be expressed as ( f(x) = -k(x + 6)^3(x - 2)^4 ), where ( k > 0 ). Given that it has a root of -6 with multiplicity 3 and a root of 2 with multiplicity 4, the overall degree of the polynomial is 7 (odd). With a negative leading coefficient, the graph will fall to the right and rise to the left. Additionally, at ( x = -6 ), the graph will have a local maximum, and at ( x = 2 ), it will have a local minimum.
When graphing polynomials, the x-intercepts of the curve are called the "roots" or "zeros" of the polynomial. These are the values of x for which the polynomial equals zero. Each root corresponds to a point where the graph crosses or touches the x-axis. The multiplicity of each root can affect the behavior of the graph at those intercepts.
