RemarkIf there are 5 distinct zeros that means either that the x axis is crossed the x axis 5 different places or touched the x axis in 1 place out the 5. Touching in one place means that an even number of roots are the same.
So let's go through all of them to get an answer of 5.
A has 4 x intercepts. It is not the right answer. We need 5.
B has 4 x intercepts. It is not the right answer. We need 5.
C has 6 x intercepts. Not the one we want.
D has 5 x distinct zeros. The wording is a bit tricky. It does not matter than one of them just touches the x axis. There could be an even number of distinct zeros there, but it only counts as one root.
An example of such a graph is f(x)=

Answer:
any integer in between 29,30,31,32,33,34 will work.
(y_final-y_start)/(x_final-x_start) always! :) that easy
(-6-2)/(2-0) = -4
You probably know that if the interval was pretty small, between 0 and 0.0001, it would take you to the concept of slope and derivatives, but average change is just ignoring anything in between x=0, and x=2 (it could go up/down million times, and still the answer would be -4)
hope it helps
It will be D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
