How many zeros does the function f have?

Transcribed Image Text:The image depicts a graph with a cubic function curve on a Cartesian coordinate plane. The x-axis and y-axis are both marked with a range from -8 to 8 and -60 to 60, respectively.
Key features of the graph:
- The curve extends from the bottom left quadrant to the top right quadrant.
- The curve has two turning points: one in the negative x region (a peak) and one in the positive x region (a trough).
- It crosses the y-axis between 0 and -60, suggesting a negative intercept value.
- The general shape of the graph indicates it is a cubic function, which has an S-like curve.
This type of graph is commonly used to visualize polynomial functions, particularly those of third degree, showing how they increase and decrease across different intervals of x.
