Math Problem Statement
Identify the zeros and y-intercept for the following function graphed below.
Solution
The graph you've provided appears to be of a polynomial function. To identify the zeros and the y-intercept:
Zeros (x-intercepts):
The zeros of the function are the points where the graph crosses the x-axis (where ). From the graph:
- The first zero is approximately at .
- The second zero is at .
- The third zero is approximately at .
Y-intercept:
The y-intercept is the point where the graph crosses the y-axis (where ). From the graph:
- The y-intercept is at .
Thus, the zeros of the function are approximately , , and , and the y-intercept is at .
