Question

The graph of y=p(x) is given below for some polynomial p(x). find the number of zeros of p(x)​

Answer 1

Answer:

For any quadratic polynomial ax²+bx+c the zeroes are precisely the x- coordinates of the points where the graph of y = ax² + bx +c intersects the X- axis. It is Clear from the graph that curve intersect the x-axis at 3 points. Hence the number of zeros of the polynomial y = p(x) are three.
