The best way to determine the x-intercepts of a polynomial function without graphing is:

**2) Find the zeros of the polynomial function.**

The x-intercepts of a polynomial function are the values of \( x \) for which the function equals zero (i.e., the roots of the polynomial). Thus, solving for the zeros will give you the x-intercepts.
