What is the difference of x intercept and y intercept?
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.
Why do you equate the equation to zero?
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.
How many times will the graph of a quadratic function cross or touch the x axis if the discriminant is zero?
Once.
If the discriminant is zero the graph of a quadric function will cross or touch the x axis how many times?
It will touch it once.
What is zero of f?
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.
