If the graph of a polynomial intersects the x-axis at exactly two points, it need not be a quadratic polynomial.
Options
True
False
Solution
This statement is True.
Explanation:
If the graph of a polynomial intersects the x-axis at exactly two points.
Then it may or may not be a quadratic polynomial.
As, a polynomial of degree more than 2 is possible which intersects the x-axis at exactly two points when it has two real roots and other imaginary roots.
