A quadratic polynomial must have zeros, though they may be complex numbers.A quadratic polynomial with no real zeros is one whose discriminant b2-4ac is negative. Such a polynomial has no special name.
The values of the variables which make the polynomial equal to zero
In the real domain, yes. In the complex domain, no.
Either graph the polynomial on graph paper manually or on a graphing calculator. If it is a "y=" polynomial, then the zeroes are the points or point where the polynomial touches the x-axis. If it is an "x=" polynomial, then the zeroes are the points or point where the polynomial touches the y-axis. If it touches neither, then it has no zeroes.
If the cubic polynomial you are given does not have an obvious factorization, then you must use synthetic division. I'm sure wikipedia can tell you all about that.

The zeros of a polynomial represent the points at which the graph crosses (or touches) the x-axis.

The values of the variables which make the polynomial equal to zero
Yes, the places where the graph of a polynomial intercepts the x-axis are zeros. The value of y at those places must be 0 for the polynomial to intersect the x axis.
In algebra, the factor theorem is a theorem linking factors and zeros of a polynomial. It is a special case of the polynomial remainder theorem.The factor theorem states that a polynomial has a factor if and only if
