Question

How many zeros does the function f(x)=3x^12 -17x^8+11x^4-6x+23 have

Answer 1

12.

Explanation:

The number of zeros to an equation is the highest power of the polynomial.

A quadratic equation whose highest degree is 2, has two solutions.

The equation f(x) =
`$ 3x^(12) - 17x^(8) + 11x^(4) - 6x + 23 $` will have 12 solutions (or zeroes) since the highest degree is 12.
