What is the ordered pair solution to the system?

• (0, 3)
• (1, -1)
• (-3, 1)
• (1, 3)

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

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

Use the graph to determine the solutions.

Find all rational zeros, one zero has been given.
f(x) = x³-2x²-6x-45;   5

• 1,5,-5
• 5, (-3+i√2)/2, (-3-i√2)/2, 5
• 5,5,5

If you are missing an exponent in your polynomial you must put a zero as a coefficient place holder for that exponent

• True
• False
