Question

Which of the following best describes the graph of the polynomial function below?

Answer 1

Answer: The graph has two zeros.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given graph is the graph of parabola open upward. In the graph of parabola, we will have two solutions since the highest degree of the function is 2.

y = ax^2 + bx + c, where a, b, c are real number and a ≠ 0.

You can see the height degree of the function is 2.

Therefore, there should be two zeros of the function.

According to the given graph of parabola has two zeros at x = -2 and x = 0.

The graph cross the x-axis at x = -2 and x = 0.

Hence, the graph has two zeros.

Answer is A. The graph has two zeros

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The given curve crosses the x-axis in two places, (-2, 0) and (0, 0), which are the zeros.  This parabolic curve opens up and has its vertex (minimum) at (-1, -1).
