How do you graph a polynomial in order to solve for the Zeros?

Either graph the polynomial on graph paper manually or on a graphing calculator. If it is a "y=" polynomial, then the zeroes are the points or point where the polynomial touches the x-axis. If it is an "x=" polynomial, then the zeroes are the points or point where the polynomial touches the y-axis. If it touches neither, then it has no zeroes.
