i need help with 7 questions
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 = 6
B. x = -1.1
C. x = 1
D. x = -1.7
E. x = 4.3
F. x = 2.4

Answer 1

the roots of the polynomial means what are the values of x when y = 0

Answer 2

where does the graph cross the x-axis?

Answer 3

is one of them 6 and -1.1?

Answer 4

hint check all that apply more than one place

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

what about 2?

Answer 7

there is no 2 only 2.4

Answer 8

what about 1 ?

Answer 9

i would put 2,4
remember the polynomial is a continuous line cross it with the x-axis and read the points of intersection

Answer 10

should -1.7 be also one of them since the dot is in -1.1
?

Answer 11

not to me -1.7 would be very close to -2 the line crosses just past -1 so the root is -1.1

Answer 12

4.3 would not be one of the roots because there nothing between there am i correct ?

Answer 13

so far my answers would be 6 , -1.1, and 2.4 correct

Answer 14

the roots are the x points where the graph touches the x-axis

Answer 15

yes

Answer 16

okay thank you for that question

Answer 17

i have a problem that i need help in

B. x = -2
C. x = 4.1
D. x = 2.4
E. x = 1.1
F. x = 0.8
