− | As you know, the zeros of a quadratic polynomial are precisely the x-coordinates of the point where the parabola representing the polynomial intersects the x-axis. A quadratic polynomial can have either two distinct zeros, or two equal zeros (i.e., one zero) or no zero in real numbers. | + | As you know, the zeros of a polynomial are precisely the x-coordinates of the point of intersection of the graph representing the polynomial with the x-axis, if they intersect. A polynomial can have either two distinct zeros, or two equal zeros (i.e., one zero) or no zero in real numbers. |
