Question

The given graph represents the polynomial $p\left(x\right)$. Find the number of zeros of the polynomial $p\left(x\right).$

• A. $0$
• B. $2$
• C. $1$
• D. $3$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$1$

The zeros of the polynomial are given by $y=p\left(x\right)=0$
This means that the zeros of the polynomial are the points on the graph where it intersects the x-axis.
Here, the graph intersects the x-axis at only one point.
Thus, the number of zeros is one.
