The points plotted below are on the graph of a polynomial. Which of the following x-values is the best approximation of a root of the polynomial? Check all that apply. A. x = 2.4 B. x = -1.1 C. x = 1.51 D. x = -0.77 E. x = 4.25 F. x = 6

I don't think you can solve that without knowing more about the polynomial

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's a parabola ryt

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well you need to show us the plotted points

i got the points now please help me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well a root of the polynomial, graphically, is a place where y=0, so you must find the points on the graph where y=0, or stated differently, the points on the graph that intersect the x axis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can reverse engineer for the parabola, but that's probably not what they want you to do. You probably just want to check where it intersects the x axis, and approximate that
