is it possible to create a fourth-degree polynomial with only two real zeros.

OpenStudy (primeralph):

Yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes. an n-th degree polynomial has n zeros [roots]. in this case they would be "repeated"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or two of them aren't real lol

OpenStudy (primeralph):

You can create any even number degree polynomials with any even number of real zeros (less than the degree though).

OpenStudy (primeralph):

@Euler271 They don't have to be repeated.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Could you demonstrate how to do this?
