As with most advanced math, if your "real life" involves engineering work, you will use such math; otherwise, you will hardly have anything to do, in this case, with polynomial functions.
It depends on the domain. In the complex domain, a polynomial of order n must have n solutions, although some of these may be multiple solutions. In the real domain, a polynomial of odd order must have at least one real solution, while a polynomial of even order may have no real solutions.
You forgot to copy the polynomial. However, the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra states that every polynomial has at least one root, if complex roots are allowed. If a polynomial has only real coefficients, and it it of odd degree, it will also have at least one real solution.
A quadratic polynomial must have zeros, though they may be complex numbers.A quadratic polynomial with no real zeros is one whose discriminant b2-4ac is negative. Such a polynomial has no special name.
The real roots of what, exactly? If you mean a square trinomial, then: If the discriminant is positive, the polynomial has two real roots. If the discriminant is zero, the polynomial has one (double) real root. If the discriminant is negative, the polynomial has two complex roots (and of course no real roots). The discriminant is the term under the square root in the quadratic equation, in other words, b2 - 4ac.

That depends on what you mean with "real-life". You won't need polynomial functions to sell stuff at a supermarket, or to cut off a dead branch from your tree... but if you work in science and engineering, you will need some really advanced math - much more than a simple polynomial function.
1+x2 is a polynomial and doesn't have a real root.
you can use it house or at the mall or anywhere
A third degree polynomial could have one or three 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.)

The usage of polynomials in real life include mathematical models for the stock market, roller coaster designs, rocket trajectories, and in engineering for high and machine designs. A polynomial is a mathematical expression that contains exponents, variables, and constants.
