A quadratic function is described by the equation f(x) = (x - 3) ^ 2 Which statement about the graph of the function is true? A The only zero of the function is 3 which is where the graph of the function intersects the x-axis
В. The only zero of the function is 3 which is where the graph of the function intersects the y-axis.
C. The only zero of the function is , which is where the graph of the function intersects the x-axis.
D. The only zero of the function is is where the graph of the function intersects the y-axis .

A) The only zero of the function is 3 which is where the graph of the function intersects the x-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember, a quadratic function which has roots x = a, and x = b, can be written as:

p(x) = A*(x - a)*(x - b)

Where A is the leading coefficient. This is the factorized form of a quadratic.

We have the function:

f(x) = (x - 3)^2

Now, we could rewrite this as:

f(x) = (x - 3)*(x - 3) = 1*(x - 3)*(x - 3)

Then we wrote f(x) in its factorized form, from this, we can see that the roots of the function are x = 3, and x = 3 (we have the same root two times)

Then the only root of f(x) is x = 3.

Remember that a root (also called a zero) is the value of x where the function intersects the x-axis. then the correct option here is:

A) The only zero of the function is 3 which is where the graph of the function intersects the x-axis
