Yes, over the real set of numbers. For example, the graph of y=x2+1 is a regular parabola with a vertex that is one unit above the origin. Because the vertex is the lowest point on the graph, and 1>0, there is no way for it to touch the x-axis.
NOTE: But if we're considering imaginary numbers, the values "i" and "-i" would be the zeroes. I'm pretty sure that all polynomial functions have a number of zeroes equal to their degree if we include imaginary numbers.

What do the zeros of a polynomial function represent on a graph?
The zeros of a polynomial represent the points at which the graph crosses (or touches) the x-axis.
To find the factors of a polynomial from its graph follow this rule If the number is a root of a polynomial then x - a is a factor?
B
Is a circle graph a function?
No, a circle graph is never a function.
How can you tell if a graph is a sine function or a cosine function?
sine graph will be formed at origine of graph and cosine graph is find on y-axise
Is the first derivative of a function is a constant then its graph is?
A line. The derivative of a function is its slope. If the slope is a constant then the graph is a line.
Can the graph of a polynomial function have a vertical asymptote?
no
What do the zeros of a polynomial function represent on a graph?
The zeros of a polynomial represent the points at which the graph crosses (or touches) the x-axis.
how many roots does the graphed polynomial function have?
here is the graph
What is a polynomial function as a graph?
A polynomial function have a polynomial graph. ... That's not very helpful is it, but the most common formal definition of a function is that it is its graph. So, I can only describe it. A polynomial graph consists of "bumps", formally called local maxima and minima, and "inflection points", where concavity changes. What's more? They numbers and shape varies a lot for different polynomials. Usually, the poly with higher power will have more "bumps" and inflection points, but it is not a absolute trend. The best way to analyze the graph of a polynomial is through Calculus.
What is the definition for the zero of a polynomial function?
The zero of a polynomial in the variable x, is a value of x for which the polynomial is zero. It is a value where the graph of the polynomial intersects the x-axis.
What part of a polynomial function determines the shape and end behavior of a graph?
The order of the polynomial (the highest power) and the coefficient of the highest power.
How do you do a parabola?
A parabola is a graph of a 2nd degree polynomial function. Two graph a parabola, you must factor the polynomial equation and solve for the roots and the vertex. If factoring doesn't work, use the quadratic equation.
What is a root in a polynomial graph?
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.
Use a graphing utility to graph the sine function and its polynomial approximation in the sme viewing window?
Yes, I did.
How do you graph a polynomial in order to solve for the Zeros?
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.
What does the s shaped line in the graph indicate?
That it is non-linear. If it is a graph of a polynomial, it would need to be a polynomial of odd order. But it could be the graph of the tangent function, or a combination of reciprocal functions over a limited domain. In fact the s shaped line, by itself, indicates very little.
What is the line graph in which the data points do not fallalong a straight line?
A non-linear graph. It could be a polynomial (of a degree greater than 1), a power function, a logarithmic or trigonometric graph. In fact any mathematical function other than a linear equation.
