Assuming the polynomial is written in terms of "x": It means, what value must "x" have, for the polynomial to evaluate to zero? For example:
f(x) = x2 - 5x + 6
has zeros for x = 2, and x = 3. That means that if you replace each "x" in the polynomial with 2, for example, the polynomial evaluates to zero.

What is a zero of a quadratic function?
The "zero" or "root" of such a function - or of any other function - is the answer to the question: "What value must the variable 'x' have, to let the function have a value of zero?" Or any other variable, depending how the function is defined.
What is called when the denominator is zero in a rational function?
The function is not defined at any values at which the denominator is zero.
Why is the zero of a function the same as an x-intercept of a function?
when you have a function lets say y = mx + b then you set it equal to zero and solve you are finding the x values that give you a y value of zero and a y value of zero lies on the x-axis. therefore when you find a zero of a function it's really the x value of where the function touches or crosses the x axis. hope this helps
