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:
<h2>0.15 inches per month</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
step one:
This problem is focused on the growth rate of a plant.
given data
the plants grow 5 inches in 34 months
and also that 1 month= 4 weeks
step two:
We can still say that
if 34 months see a growth of 5 inches
then 1 months will be X inches
cross multiply we have
X= 5/32 inches
step three:
converting this number to decimal we have
X= 0.15 inches per month
Therefore the growth rate would be
0.15 inches per month
