Roots and Factors of Polynomial Functions

x² - 25

• ( x + 5 ) ( x - 5 ) 

• ( x - 5 ) ( x - 5 ) 

• ( x + 5 ) ( x + 5 ) 

3x² - 75

• 3( x + 5 ) ( x - 5 ) 

• 3( x - 5 ) ( x - 5 ) 

• ( x + 5 ) ( x - 5 ) 

The degree of the polynomial determines the number of roots.

• True

• False

What does it mean to "find the zeros"?

• Finding where the graph crosses the x-axis

• Finding where the graph crosses the y-axis

• Finding the very bottom of the graph.

• Finding the very top of the graph.
