Given a velocity-time graph, how can you determine how many times the object is at its starting position? I know the area under the graph is displacement and i could probably find some long complicated way to answer it but is there an easy way to roughly guess how many times the object returns to starting position? I really need a quick way because i have to answer this on a test tomorrow and its only an hour long and not the only question.

The thing is that if you graph this, you wouldn't have velocity, but speed. Speed would be a scalar quantity that doesn't give you a position or direction. All the information from a speed vs time graph would only give you displacement and acceleration, but not location.
