Question 6 of 21Which of the following best describes the graph of the polynomial functiibelow?5Х-55-5-

Answer 1

The zeros of a polynomial function are the points at which the graph of the function cuts the x-axis.

Given the graph of the polynomial function as shown below:

`\begin{gathered} When\text{ the curve cuts the x-axis twice, this implies that the graph has 2 zeros.} \\ When\text{ the curve cuts the x-axis once, this implies that the graph has only 1 zero.} \\ \end{gathered}`

Since the curve on the graph cuts the x-axis once, it implies that the graph has one zero.

The correct option is D.
