Question

3. Given the graph below, determine whether each statement is true or false.

Answer 1

Answers:

1. True
2. True
3. True
4. False
5. False

======================================

Explanation:

In this context, a zero is another term for x intercept or root. This is where the graph either touches or crosses the x axis. This occurs in three locations: x = -3, x = 2, and x = 0. So those are the three roots. That makes the first three statements true, while the remaining two others are false.

Side note: x = 0 doesn't always have to be involved. Its quite possible to have x = 0 not be an x intercept. The term "zero" is a bit misleading in that regard. I prefer either "root" or "x intercept" instead.
