They are the x-values (if any) of the points at which the y-value of the equation representing a parabola is 0. These are the points at which the parabola crosses the x-axis.

A parabola always has at least one and at most two zeros?
Nope. False.
How is the x-value of the vertex of a parabola related to the zeros of the function?
For a parabola in a normal position ... with its nose either straight up or straight down ... the x-value of the vertex is midway between the zeros of the function, i.e. their average.
How do you find the zeros in a parabola?
If the equation of the parabola isy = ax^2 + bx + c then the roots are [-b +/- sqrt(b^2-4ac)]/(2a)
Where a parabola crosses the x-axis?
These are called the zeros of the equation. They are the places where y=0
What are the zeros of functions and what do they represent?
The zeros of functions are the solutions of the functions when finding where a parabola intercepts the x-axis, hence the other names: roots and x-intercepts.

What are the roots of a parabola?
I think you are talking about the x-intercepts. You can find the zeros of the equation of the parabola y=ax2 +bx+c by setting y equal to 0 and finding the corresponding x values. These will be the "roots" of the parabola.
How do you find the endpoints of a parabola when you have the function of the line?
A parabola has no endpoints: it extends to infinity.A parabola has no endpoints: it extends to infinity.A parabola has no endpoints: it extends to infinity.A parabola has no endpoints: it extends to infinity.
Is a parabola the same as a parabolic curve?
No. If you tilt a parabola, you will still have a parabolic curve but it will no longer be a parabola.
Parabola is the point at which the parabola is at its lowest or highest point?
A parabola is NOT a point, it is the whole curve.
What curved path traveled by a thrown baseball is known as?
projectile motion
The maximum or minimum of a parabola depending on whether the parabola opens up or down?
A parabola opening up has a minimum, while a parabola opening down has a maximum.
What is the parabola effect?
what are the effects of the sign a and n to the parabola
