Question

How many zeros does the function ????(x) = 3x^2 + 6x + 2 have? Explain how you know.

Answer 1

The function has 2 zeros:

`x = -1 - (1)/(√(3))\\x = -1 + (1)/(√(3))`

Explanation:

When you have a polynomial function, you can identify the grade of the function (the grade is the maximum potency) and this is the number of zeros that the function will have. In this case, you have a second-grade polynomial function that has 2 zeros.
