An odd degree polynomial has at least one x-intercept. This is because the end behavior of the polynomial ensures that it must cross the x-axis at least once, transitioning from negative to positive or vice versa. The polynomial can have more than one x-intercept, but the minimum is one.

Are there only 3 degree's in a polynomial equation?
No. A polynomial can have as many degrees as you like.
How many degrees does a linear polynomial have?
A linear polynomial has a degree of 1. This means it can be expressed in the form ( ax + b ), where ( a ) and ( b ) are constants and ( a \neq 0 ). The degree of a polynomial is determined by the highest power of the variable in the expression, which in the case of a linear polynomial is 1.
How many terms does the polynomial have?
As many as you like. A polynomial in 1 variable, and of degree n, can have n+1 terms where n is any positive integer.
At most how many unique roots would a polynomial have?
A polynomial of degree ( n ) can have at most ( n ) unique roots. This is due to the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, which states that a polynomial of degree ( n ) has exactly ( n ) roots in the complex number system, counting multiplicities. Therefore, if all the roots are distinct, the maximum number of unique roots is equal to the degree of the polynomial.
How many extrema can a 8th polynomial have?
An 8th degree polynomial can have up to 7 extrema (local maxima and minima). This is because the number of extrema is limited by the degree of the polynomial minus one, which in this case is (8 - 1 = 7). However, the actual number of extrema can be fewer depending on the specific polynomial and its critical points.
At most how many unique roots will a fourth degree polynomial have?
4, the same as the degree of the polynomial.
Are there only 3 degree's in a polynomial equation?
No. A polynomial can have as many degrees as you like.
How many terms can a polynomial have?
As many as you like. The highest power of the variable in question (usually x) defines the degree of the polynomial. If the degree is n, the polynomial can have n+1 terms. (If there are more then the polynomial can be reduced.) But there is NO LIMIT to the value of n.
How many real roots will a 3rd degree polynomial have?
A third degree polynomial could have one or three real roots.
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.)
