If the coefficients of a polynomial of degree three are real it MUST have a real zero.
In the following, asymptotic values are assumed as being attained for brevity:
If the coeeff of x3 is positive, the value of the polynomial goes from minus infinity to plus infinity as x goes from minus infinity to plus infinity. The reverse is true if the coefficient of x3 is negative. Since all polynomials are continuous functions, the polynomial must cross the x axis at some point. That's your root.

The degree of a polynomial refers to the largest exponent in the function for that polynomial. A degree 3 polynomial will have 3 as the largest exponent, but may also have smaller exponents. Both x^3 and x^3-x²+x-1 are degree three polynomials since the largest exponent is 4. The polynomial x^4+x^3 would not be degree three however because even though there is an exponent of 3, there is a higher exponent also present (in this case, 4).
The polynomial P(x)=(x-3)(x-0)(x+3)(x-1) is of the fourth degree.
That means that you divide one polynomial by another polynomial. Basically, if you have polynomials "A" and "B", you look for a polynomial "C" and a remainder "R", such that: B x C + R = A ... such that the remainder has a lower degree than polynomial "B", the polynomial by which you are dividing. For example, if you divide by a polynomial of degree 3, the remainder must be of degree 2 or less.
Yes - but only if the domain is restricted. Normally the domain is the whole of the real numbers and over that domain it must have at least one real zero.

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 number of zeros to append in a CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) calculation is equal to the degree of the generator polynomial used in the CRC algorithm. For example, if the generator polynomial is of degree 3, you would append 3 zeros to the data before performing the division to calculate the CRC. This process helps ensure that the appended CRC value can be used to detect errors in the transmitted data.
A polynomial will definitely have nonreal zeros if it has an odd degree and a negative leading coefficient. For example, the polynomial ( f(x) = -x^3 + 2 ) has a degree of 3, which is odd, and the leading coefficient is negative. By the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, it must have at least one nonreal zero, as it cannot cross the x-axis an odd number of times while remaining entirely above or below it.
The degree of a polynomial is identified by determining the highest exponent of the variable in the polynomial's expression. For example, in the polynomial (2x^3 + 4x^2 - x + 5), the highest exponent is 3, so the degree is 3. If the polynomial is a constant (like 5), its degree is 0, and if it's the zero polynomial, it's often considered to have no degree.

(x - (-3)) (x - (-5)) (x - 2), or(x + 3) (x + 5) (x - 2)You can multiply the binomials to get a polynomial of degree 3.
For example, if you divide a polynomial of degree 2 by a polynomial of degree 1, you'll get a result of degree 1. Similarly, you can divide a polynomial of degree 4 by one of degree 2, a polynomial of degree 6 by one of degree 3, etc.
Since the question did not specify a rational polynomial, the answer is a polynomial of degree 3.
