Question

In Fig. 2.17, the graph of a polynomial p(x) is given. Find the zeros of the polynomial.

Answer 1

Just see the point of intersection of the curve and x-axis and find out the x-coordinate of these points. These x-coordinates will be the zeros of the polynomial Since the intersection points are 

`(-3,0)` and `(-1,0)`

 

Hence, the zeros of the polynomial is  -3 and  -1
