A single dipole, fed with coax, configured as an inverted V, will
serve well on its resonant frequency and is also usable on its odd
harmonics. For example, a dipole cut for 40 meters (nominally 66 feet
in length for a horizontal, and perhaps 60 feet in length as an
inverted V) can usually be used on 15 meters as well since that's
close to the third harmonic.
However, although it may "match" on 15-meters it will not work all
that great as the effective antenna height will be substantiality
lower. (Been there done that!).
