The graph of a cubic polynomial is called a cubic curve. It typically has an "S" shape and can have one, two, or three real roots, depending on the polynomial's coefficients. The general form of a cubic polynomial is ( f(x) = ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d ), where ( a \neq 0 ). The behavior of the graph includes turning points and can exhibit inflection points where the curvature changes.
A cubic polynomial is a polynomial of degree three, which means its highest exponent is three. It takes the general form ( ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d ), where ( a, b, c, ) and ( d ) are constants, and ( a \neq 0 ). The graph of a cubic polynomial can have one or two inflection points and can exhibit a variety of shapes, including one or two turning points.
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.
A cubic graph!
Not quite. The polynomial's linear factors are related - not equal to - the places where the graph meets the x-axis. For example, the polynomial x2 - 5x + 6, in factored form, is (x - 2) (x - 3). In this case, +2 and +3 are "zeroes" of the polynomial, i.e., the graph crosses the x-axis. That is, in an x-y graph, y = 0.
To find the zeros of the polynomial from the given graph, identify the points where the graph intersects the x-axis. These intersection points represent the values of x for which the polynomial equals zero. If the graph crosses the x-axis at specific points, those x-values are the zeros of the polynomial. If the graph merely touches the x-axis without crossing, those points indicate repeated zeros.

Four points can produce a polynomial of at most the third order - a cubic. It is, of course, possible that the 4 points are collinear.

A cubic polynomial.
A cubic polynomial: y = ax3 + bx2 + cx + d where a, b, c, and d are constants.
It will be a cubic polynomial.
The zeros of a polynomial represent the points at which the graph crosses (or touches) the x-axis.
