Question

According to the fundamental theorem of algebra, how many zeros does the function f(x) = 15x17 + 41x12 + 13x3 − 10 have?

Answer 1

The answer you are looking for is 17

Answer 2

The fundamental theorem of algebra states that a polynomial of degree has exactly n roots (including complex and multiple).
The degree of a polynomial is the highest (non-negative) exponent of the polynomial, in this case is 17 from the term 15x^17.
