What will be number of zeros of the polynomials whose graphs are either touching or intersecting the axis only at the points :
`(i) (3,0)`, `(0,2)` & `(3,0)` `(ii) (0,4)`, `(0,0)` and `(0,-4)`

The correct Answer is:
To find the number of zeros of the given polynomials based on their graphs touching or intersecting the x-axis at specified points, we will analyze each case step by step. ### Part (i): Points (3,0), (0,2), and (3,0) 1. **Identify the points**: The points given are (3,0), (0,2), and (3,0). - The point (3,0) indicates that the polynomial intersects the x-axis at x = 3. - The point (0,2) indicates that the polynomial does not intersect the x-axis at this point since the y-coordinate is not zero. - The point (3,0) is repeated. 2. **Determine the zeros**: - The only relevant point for finding zeros is (3,0) since it is the only point where the polynomial intersects the x-axis. - The point (3,0) counts as one zero. The repeated occurrence of (3,0) does not add to the count of distinct zeros. 3. **Conclusion for Part (i)**: - There is only **1 zero** for the polynomial based on the given points. ### Part (ii): Points (0,4), (0,0), and (0,-4) 1. **Identify the points**: The points given are (0,4), (0,0), and (0,-4). - The point (0,0) indicates that the polynomial intersects the x-axis at x = 0. - The points (0,4) and (0,-4) do not intersect the x-axis since their y-coordinates are not zero. 2. **Determine the zeros**: - The only relevant point for finding zeros is (0,0) since it is the only point where the polynomial intersects the x-axis. - Thus, (0,0) counts as one zero. 3. **Conclusion for Part (ii)**: - There is only **1 zero** for the polynomial based on the given points. ### Final Answers: - For part (i), the number of zeros is **1**. - For part (ii), the number of zeros is **1**. ---
