Analyzing Graph Functions and Zeros

The video tutorial explains how to solve a 2014 Algebra 1 problem by analyzing a graph to identify zeros and convert them into factors. The instructor demonstrates a technique to focus on key x-values where the graph crosses the x-axis, converting these into factors to match with answer choices. The correct answer is identified as choice D, which includes the factors derived from the graph.
