Mike says the polynomial function f (x) = 24 – 2x3 24 - 2x3 - 3x2 has four unique zeros.
Is he correct? Why or why not?
O 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.
O No, Mike is not correct. The leading coefficient is one, not four, so there will not be four
unique zeros.
