If the zeroes of a polynomial's graph are -4 and 9, what is the distance between them on the x-axis?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 13

The distance is the absolute difference of their x-coordinates. Calculate as \\(|9-(-4)|=|13|=13\\). Options A and B are incorrect because they do not give the correct difference; option D is incorrect because distance cannot be negative. Exam tip: use the absolute value of the difference of coordinates to find distance on an axis.
