Observe the graph of polynomial $p(x)$ (the curve crosses the $x$-axis at three distinct points). Number of zeroes of $p(x)$ is
A. $5$
B. $4$
C. $6$
D. $3$
✅ Answer & Solution
✅ Correct Answer: D
Step 1: The number of zeroes of a polynomial = number of points where its graph intersects the $x$-axis.
Step 2: From the given graph, the curve cuts the $x$-axis at exactly 3 distinct points.
Step 3: Hence $p(x)$ has 3 zeroes.
Answer: (D) $3$
