If the graph of a polynomial intersects the x - axis at exactly two points, it need not be a quadratic polynomial.

If the graph of a polynomial intersects the x - axis at exactly two points, it need not be a quadratic polynomial: True.

The polynomial with degree greater than 2 can also intersect the x - axis at two points. Hence, it need not be a quadratic polynomial.
