The $n$-th derivative has $n$ zeros. Can such a function be unbounded?

We then assume that $f^{(n)}$ has exactly $n$ distinct simple zeroes $x_n < x_{n-1} < \dots < x_1$ for some $n \geq 1$. … Together with the zeroes of $f^{(n+1)}$ between the $x_i$'s, we get $\geq n+1$ distinct zeroes (and therefore exactly $n+1$ zeroes). …
