To determine the number of real and non-real solutions for a graphed equation, one typically examines the graph to see how many times the curve intersects the x-axis (which represents the real solutions) and the behavior of the curve (which can indicate the presence of non-real solutions if it does not cross the x-axis).
However, without the specific graph or details about the equation in question, I cannot provide an exact count of solutions. Typically, you would do the following to analyze the graph:
1. Count how many times the curve crosses or touches the x-axis for real solutions.
2. For polynomial equations, if the degree of the polynomial is \(n\), then it can have up to \(n\) real and non-real (complex) solutions, where non-real solutions can be counted as pairs of complex conjugates.
Based on the choices provided, here are a few general guidelines for each response type:
- **Three real and zero non-real**: The graph intersects the x-axis three times.
- **Zero real and three non-real**: The graph does not intersect the x-axis at all (it stays entirely above or below).
- **One real and one non-real**: The graph touches the x-axis at one point and does not intersect it again.
- **Two real and one non-real**: The graph intersects the x-axis at two points and does not touch it again (implying one pair of non-real solutions).
If you can provide more context or information about the graph, I can help analyze it further! Otherwise, please choose based on your visualization of the given graph.
