Since the question did not specify a rational polynomial, the answer is a polynomial of degree 3.
A polynomial of degree ( n ) can have at most ( n ) distinct zeros (roots) in the complex number system, according to the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra. These zeros may be real or complex, and they can also be repeated, meaning a polynomial can have fewer than ( n ) distinct zeros if some are counted multiple times (multiplicity). For example, a polynomial of degree 3 could have 3 distinct zeros, 2 distinct zeros (one with multiplicity 2), or 1 distinct zero (with multiplicity 3).
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.
Yes, when performing polynomial division, the remainder can be a polynomial of a lower degree than the divisor. If the divisor is a polynomial of degree 1, such as (x - a), the remainder could be any linear polynomial, including just (x). However, if the divisor has a degree higher than 1, the remainder must be of lower degree than that divisor.
Good question! The zero polynomial "0" could result from any of the following: (0), (0)x, (0)x2, (0)x3, etc. Since you don't know which it came from, you can't say what the degree is.
You need to find the perimeter at the first few iterations and find out what the sequence is. It could be an arithmetic sequence or a polynomial of a higher degree: you need to find out the generating polynomial. Then substitute the iteration number in place of the variable in this polynomial.

A third degree polynomial could have one or three real roots.
Not in the normal sense but it could be considered a degenerate polynomial of degree 0.

The degree of a polynomial is the highest degree of its terms. The degree of a term is the sum of the exponents of the variables that appear in it.
No, if it is of degree 4, it can have 4 linear factors, regardless of the number of terms.For example, x squared + 5x + 6 = (x+3)(x+2). The unfactored polynomial has three terms, and is of degree 2. Similarly, you can multiply four linear terms together; and you will get a polynomial of degree 4, which has up to 5 terms.

Yes, easily. Even though the question did not ask what the polynomial was, only if I could find it, here is how you would find the polynomial: Since the coefficients are rational, the complex (or imaginary) roots must form a conjugate pair. That is to say, the two complex roots are + 3i and -3i. The third root is 7. So the polynomial, in factorised form, is (x - 3i)(x + 3i)(x - 7) = (x2 + 9)(x - 7) = x3 - 7x2 + 9x - 63

The opposite of imaginary could be real, actual, or existing.
Due to shortcomings of the browser, I regret that it is impossible to tell. For example, the first term could be 2x times 2y or 2x-squared times y. Some educated guesswork suggests degree 12 - from the second term, but I could be wrong.
