Question

Determine the maximum numbers of zeros of the polynomial function 3x^4-x^2+1

A. 4
B. 3
C. 1
D. 2

Answer 1

Answer: A. 4

The largest exponent in the polynomial tells us the max number of roots, x intercepts, or zeroes of the function. In this case, that happens to be 4. This is the degree of the polynomial. It is considered a quartic polynomial. It is also a trinomial since it has 3 terms (3x^4, x^2 and 1)

Answer 2

Answer:

ITs A

Step-by-step explanation:

The highest degree is 4 ( 3x^4)  so the maximum number of zeroes is 4.
