A histogram titled Savings Account Deposits has Months on the x-axis and amount deposited on the y-axis. January is 50 dollars; February is 80 dollars; March is 110 dollars; April is 100 dollars: May is 95 dollars; June is 250 dollars; July is 320 dollars; August is 300 dollars; September is 80 dollars. Which best describes the data for June, July, and August?
a cluster
a gap
low frequency
symmetric

the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

the root or roots of a polynomial are the values of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to 0. we can find the roots of a polynomial making the expression equal to 0 and then, isolating the variable (it it has just one variable).

for example, given the following polynomial:

the root or zero of the polynomial, can be found by making the expression equal to 0, and then, isolating the variable, so, finding the root we have:

therefore, we have that the root of the polynomial is equal to 2.

we must remember that the number of roots that a polynomial can have, will depend on the degree of the polynomial, a first degree polynomial have will have one single root, a second degree polynomial (quadratic expression) may have two roots and so.

hence the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

have a nice day!
