The zeros, or roots, of a linear function is the point at which the line touches the x-axis. Since a linear function is a straight line, it has a maximum of one root (zero). The zero of a function can be determined by the highest degree (power) of the function. Since linear functions are only raised to the power of one, one is the total number of times the line can touch the x-axis. If you function is a horizontal line, it has no root, or zero.

If a function is positive at a test number does the function has no zeros?
false!
Can a polynomial have more zeros than the highest degree of the function?
no a plynomial can not have more zeros than the highest (degree) number of the function at leas that is what i was taught. double check the math.
How many zeros can you have in an algebraic function?
For an algebraic function in one variable, as many as the highest power of the variable.
What is the difference between x-intercepts of a function and zeros of a function?
Assuming it is a function of "x", those are two different names for the same thing.
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.
