1. The problem asks: How many zeros does the graphed polynomial function have? 2. Recall that zeros of a polynomial function are the x-values where the graph crosses or touches the x-axis. 3. From the description, the graph crosses the x-axis twice on the left curve (between x=-8 and x=-2). 4. The graph crosses the x-axis once on the right curve near x=4. 5. Total zeros = number of x-axis crossings = 2 (left) + 1 (right) = 3. 6. Therefore, the polynomial function has 3 zeros. Final answer: C. 3
