Question

State the number of turning points of the graph of a fifth-degree polynomial if it has five distinct real zeros?

a.) 3
b.) 5
c.) 4
d.) 6

Answer 1

The answer to this problem is letter C. 4. The number of zeroes or roots of a fifth - degree polynomial is 5. Thus, the graph would cross the x - axis five times. The graph turns from positive to negative y - quadrants 4 times.
