Question

In the above figure, the graph of a polynomial p(x) is shown. The number of zeroes of p(x) is:

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 3
• D. 4

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

3

The number of zeroes of p(x) is the number of times the curve intersects the x-axis, i.e; attains the value 0.

Here, the polynomial p(x) meets the x-axis at 3 points.

So, number of zeroes $=3$.

Hence, $C$ is correct option.
