The graph of y = p(x) are given in the figure below, for some polynomials p(x). Find the number of zeroes of p(x), in each case.
(i) Graph y = p(x) does not cut the x-axis at any point, so the given polynomial has no zero. (ii) Graph y = p(x) cuts the x-axis at one point, so the given polynomial has one zero. (iii) Graph y = p(x) cuts the x-axis at three points, so the given polynomial has three zeroes. (iv) Graph y = p(x) cuts the x-axis at two points, so the given polynomial has two zeroes. (v) Graph y = p(x) cuts the x-axis at four points, so the given polynomial has four zeroes. (vi) Graph y = p(x) cuts the x-axis at three points, so the given polynomial has three zeroes.
