Which of the following best describes how you can determine the x-intercepts of a polynomial function without graphing? (1 point).

Question

A. Find the zeros of the polynomial function
B. Find the value of the function when x equals zero
C. Find the number of terms of the polynomial function
D. Find the degree of the polynomial function

Answer 1

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

A. Find the zeros of the polynomial function.

The x-intercepts occur where the function equals zero, which corresponds to finding the values of x that make the polynomial equal to zero (the zeros of the function).
