The video tutorial explains how to determine the total number of zeros in a polynomial using the fundamental theorem of algebra. It covers examples of polynomials with different degrees, showing how to identify real and imaginary zeros through graph analysis. The tutorial also discusses double solutions, where a graph bounces off the x-axis, and concludes with a preview of finding actual zero coordinates using a graphing calculator.

What does the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra help us determine about a polynomial?

• The degree of the polynomial

• The coefficients of the polynomial

• The number of terms in the polynomial

• The total number of zeros

If a polynomial has a degree of 4, how many total zeros does it have?

• 2

• 3

• 5

• 4

What types of zeros can a polynomial have?

• Only real

• Only imaginary

• Real, imaginary, and multiple

• None of the above

How can we identify real zeros of a polynomial using a graph?

• By finding the x-intercepts

• By finding the y-intercepts

• By looking at the slope of the graph

• By counting the number of peaks

In a polynomial with 5 total zeros, if 3 are real, how many are imaginary?

• 4

• 3

• 2

• 1

What does it mean when a graph 'bounces' off the x-axis?

• It indicates a double solution

• It indicates a single real zero

• It indicates no solution

• It indicates an imaginary zero

What will the next video focus on?

• Finding the degree of polynomials
