Question

The graph of the polynomial P(x) cuts the x-axis 5 times and touches it 3 times. The number of zeros of P(x) is : * (a) 5 (b) 3 (c) 8 (d) 2

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

Here the no. of zeroes represents the no. of values of x for which p(x) is zero.

So here, we see that the graph cuts the x-axis at 2 points which implies p(x) is zero at these 2 points only.
