Mike says the polynomial function f (x) = 24 – 223 – 3chas four unique zeros. Is he correct? Why or why not?
Yes, Mike is correct. A fourth-degree polynomial has four unique zeros.
O No, Mike is not correct. There are not four terms in the polynomial, so it cannot have four
unique zeros.
O No, Mike is not correct. Two of the four factors are the same, so there are only three unique
zeros.
O Yes, Mike is correct. The polynomial can be factored into a product of two monomials and
two binomials of order 1. The four unique zeros are the values that make each factor equal to
0.
ONo, Mike is not correct. The leading coefficient is one, not four, so there will not be four
unique zeros.
