Question

In the given graph, the polynomial \(p(x)\) is shown. Number of zeroes of \(p(x)\) is

• A. 3
• B. 2
• C. 1
• D. 4

Hint:

Each x-intercept of a polynomial graph represents a zero (root) of the polynomial.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Zeroes of a polynomial are the x-values where the graph intersects the x-axis. The graph of \(p(x)\) intersects the x-axis at 3 points. Hence, number of zeroes = 3.
