Answer:

15

Explanation:

The highest exponent in a polynomial function is the degree. The degree is also the greatest number of roots available. Since roots come from the factors of the function, as each factor is multiplied the degree increases. If the degree is 15 the greatest number of factors or roots it can have is 15.
