The graph of $y=p(x)$ is given below for a polynomial $p(x)$. Find the number of zeroes of $p(x)$.
(A) The number of zeroes of a polynomial $p(x)$ is equal to the number of points where the graph of $y=p(x)$ intersects the $x$-axis. In the given graph,the curve intersects the $x$-axis at exactly $1$ point. Therefore,the number of zeroes of the polynomial $p(x)$ is $1$.
