Some of the characteristics of such a function are:
- The function is continuous (it doesn't make sudden jumps)
- The derivative is continuous (the function doesn't suddenly change its direction)
- The function is unbounded - as "x" grows larger and larger, f(x) approaches either plus or minus infinity (i.e., it grows without bounds).
- In the complex numbers, any polynomial has at least one zero.
