Question

0 / 1 point multiple choice which statement best describes the zeros of an odd - degree polynomial function? it always has exactly one zero it has at least one real zero it has no real zeros it has an odd number of zeros

Explanation:

By the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra and the Intermediate Value Theorem, an odd-degree polynomial's end behavior tends to $+\infty$ and $-\infty$ as $x$ approaches opposite infinities. This means the polynomial must cross the x-axis at least once, guaranteeing at least one real zero. It can have more than one real zero, and cannot have zero real zeros.

Answer:

It has at least one real zero
