Solution
As we know the number of zeroes is the point where the line cut on the x - axis.
In figure (i) The line does not cut on x- axis. So, number of zeroes is 0.
In figure (ii) The line cuts on x- axis at one point. So, number of zeroes is 1.
In figure (ii) The line cuts on x- axis 3 at three points. So, number of zeroes is 3.
