Your two answers would be A. x = -5.1, and F. x = 3.7.

The root of polynomials is found by the places at which the graph crosses the X axis. Therefore, we can just look at the graph and estimate where it looks like the graph has crossed the X axis, which seems to be -5.1 and 3.7.

I hope this helps!
