Answers
Polynomials are the algebraic expressions which consist of co-efficients, terms and constant term and which are separated by plus (+) and minus (-) sign.
Polynomials are classified into mainly two groups which are as follows :
1. Polynomials based on terms
2. Polynomials based on degree
1. Polynomials based on terms:
There are three types of classifications of polynomials on the basis of terms which are as follows :
(i) Monomial :
Monomials are the polynomials which have only one term.
For eg : xy
(ii) Binomial :
Binomials are the polynomials which have two terms.
For eg : x + y
(iii) Trinomial :
Trinomials are the polynomials which have three terms.
For eg : x + z + 1
2. Polynomials based on degree:
There are mainly three types of polynomials which are based on the basis of degree which are as follows:
(i) Linear polynomial:
A polynomial whose degree is one is called as linear polynomial.
For eg: x + 2
(ii) Quadratic polynomial:
A polynomial whose degree is two is called as quadratic polynomial.
For eg: x² + x + 2
(iii) Cubic polynomial:
A polynomial whose degree is three is called as cubic polynomial.
For eg: x³ + x² + x + 3
Coming towards our question,
(i) Linear polynomials will have only 1 zero.
(ii) Quadratic polynomials can have no zeros, 1 zero and at the most 2 zeros.
(iii) Cubic polynomials can have 1 zero, 2 zeros or 3 zeros.
(iv) Bi-quadratic polynomials whose degree is 4 can have no zero, 1 zero, 2 zeros, 3 zeros and at the most 4 zeros.
Answer:d) more than 3
Step-by-step explanation: basically there r linear polynomial-it can have only one zero
Quadratic polynomial-can have 2 zeros
Cubic -can have 3 zeroes
Bi quadratic- can have 4 zeroes and so on...
In these more than 3 polynomials can have 2 zeroes except linear
So the answer is d)more than 3
