The graph of a polynomial $y = f(x)$ is shown in figure below, then the number of its zeros is:
Solution
✅ Correct Option: 2
The zeros of a polynomial are the x-coordinates of the points where the graph intersects the x-axis (where y = 0). Looking at the graph, you can see where it intersects the x-axis: 1. One intersection on the left side 2. One intersection at the middle 3. One intersection on the right side The curve crosses the x-axis three times, indicating three real zeros. Therefore, the polynomial has 3 zeros.
