alleryWhich statement is true for a polynomial of degree $n$?
AIt has exactly $n$ zeroes
BIt has at least $n$ zeroes
CIt has at most $n$ zeroes
DIt has no zeroes
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. It has at most $n$ zeroes
In general, the graph of a polynomial of degree $n$ can intersect the $x$-axis at no more than $n$ points.
**Therefore, a polynomial of degree $n$ has at most $n$ zeroes.**
