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.
A polynomial of degree ( n ) can have at most ( n ) real zeros. This is a consequence of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, which states that a polynomial of degree ( n ) has exactly ( n ) roots in the complex number system, counting multiplicities. Therefore, while all roots can be real, the maximum number of distinct real zeros a polynomial can possess is ( n ).
The values of the variables which make the polynomial equal to zero
The zeros of the polynomial ( x^2 - 16 ) can be found by setting the equation equal to zero: ( x^2 - 16 = 0 ). This can be factored as ( (x - 4)(x + 4) = 0 ). Therefore, the zeros are ( x = 4 ) and ( x = -4 ).
In the real domain, yes. In the complex domain, no.

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

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

by synthetic division and quadratic equation
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.
