ill in the blanks.

If x = a is a zero of a polynomial functionf, then the following three statements are true. (a) x = a is a 1---Select---y-interceptx-interceptturning pointminimumsolution of the polynomial equation f(x) =0.

(b) 2---Select---x = a(x - a)a-x-ax = -a(x + a)x is a factor of the polynomial f(x).

(c) (a, 0) is a 3---Select---vertexy-interceptminimumturning pointx-intercept of the graph of f. (a) x = a is a 1---Select---y-interceptx-interceptturning pointminimumsolution of the polynomial equation f(x) =0.

(b) 2---Select---x = a(x - a)a-x-ax = -a(x + a)x is a factor of the polynomial f(x).

(c) (a, 0) is a 3---Select---vertexy-interceptminimumturning pointx-intercept of the graph of f.
