Answer: A) 7 real zeros and 6 turning points at 0, 2, 4

Explanation:

x⁷ - 6x⁶ + 8x⁵

The degree (largest exponent) is 7 so the maximum number of real zeros is 7.

Factor out x⁵

x⁵(x² - 6x + 8)

Factor the quadratic

x⁵(x - 2)(x - 4)

Set each factor equal to 0 and solve for x

x⁵ = 0 --> x = 0 (multiplicity of 5)

x - 2 = 0 --> x = 2

x - 4 = 0 --> x = 4
