EXERCISE- 3.2

1.The graphs ofy-pix) are given in the figures below, for some polynomials px) In each case, find the mumber of zeroes of p(x).


2.Find the z zeroes of the given polynomials.

(i) p(x) = 3x     (ii) p(x) = x2 + 5x + 6

(iii) p(x) = (x+2) (x+3)    (iv) p(x) = x4 -16

3.Draw the graphs of the given polynomial and find the zeroes. Justify the answers.

(i) p(x) = x2 -x - 12     (ii)p(x)= x²- 6x + 9

(iii) p(x) = x²- 4x + 5     (iv) p(x) = -x2 + 3x - 4

(v) p(x) = x2 -1

4.Why are 1/4 and –1 zeroes of the polynomials p(x) = 4x² + 3x - 1.
