To calculate: The number of zeros of the polynomial function
Answer to Problem 5E
The number of zeros of the polynomial function is 3.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The polynomial function
Formula used:
The number of zeros of any polynomial is equal to the order of the polynomial function. Order of the polynomial function is the highest power of the variable.
Calculation:
Consider the given polynomial function
Recall that number of zeros of any polynomial is equal to the order of the polynomial function. Order of the polynomial function is the highest power of the variable.
The highest power of the variable x is 3, so, order of the polynomial is 3. Hence, the number of zeros of the given polynomial function is 3.
Thus, the number of zeros of the polynomial function is 3.
