Question

A polynomial of degree 5 intersects the x-axis at atmost​

Answer 1

Answer:

5 times

Step-by-step explanation:

If the degree of a polynomial is 5, it can be represented as product of 5 linear equations, therefore it has 5 zeroes.

If we plot the equation on a graph, maximum number of times the value of the equation can be zero is 5,

therefore it can intersect the x-axis atmost 5 times

Hope It Helps :)

Answer 2

Answer:

5 points.

Explanation:

As far we have came, we know that degree of a polynomial describes the number of roots of a polynomial.

Also there is a plus point... if we equate a polynomial expression equal to ‘y’ we get an equation with parabolic graph formation.

So as we know that a polynomial having unequal roots would lead to intersection of parabola with x-axis at points(here, 5) where polynomial is resulting the value of x.

Thank me, if I made it clear.
