The graph of a polynomial p(x) cuts the x axis at two places and touches it at three places.   fIND THE NUMBEROF ZEROES OF P(X)

Please find below the solution to the asked query:

We know If any polynomial touches or cut any number of times the x  - axis so that is also number of zeroes can have given polynomial .

Here our polynomial cuts the x  - axis at two places and touches it at three places .

So,

Number of zeroes  =  2 + 3 =  5                                                ( Ans )

Hope this information will clear your doubts about topic.
