The y-intercept is the value of the function when 'x' is zero. That is, it's the point at which the graph of the function intercepts (crosses) the y-axis. The x-intercept is the value of 'x' that makes the value of the function zero. That is, it's the point at which 'y' is zero, and the graph of the function intercepts the x-axis.
Not all equations are equated to zero, but usually we set a function equal to zero if we want to find its x intercepts, or where the graph of the function crosses the x axis.
Once.
It will touch it once.
The zero of a f (function) is an x-value that corresponds to where the y-value is zero on the functions graph or the x-intercepts. Functions can have multiple zeroes or no real zeroes at all, depending on the equation.
