f(x) = 2x³ - 3x² + 4x -10

What is the degree of f(x)?

• 3

• 2

• 1

• 0

Find all zeros. One zero has been given.
f(x) = x⁴ + 8x³ + 14x² - 8x - 15; x = -5

• -2,1,-1,-5
• -3,1,-1,-5
• 3,-3,4,0
• -1,1-5,3

Factor f(x)= x³ - 2x²-13x - 10  given that (x - 5) is one factor.

• (x- 5)(x - 1)(x - 2)
• (x - 5)(x + 2)(x - 2)
• (x - 5)(x + 2) (x + 1)
• (x - 5)(2x - 13)

The degree of the polynomial determines the number of roots.

• True
• False

What is another way to say "where a function crosses the x-axis"?

• x-intercept
• zero
• root
• all of these.
