What are the zeros of a function?

They are the values of 'x' that make the function zero.
If you graph the function, they are the values of 'x' where the graph crosses the x-axis.

The zeros of a function are the values of 'x' that make the function equal to zero, found by solving the equation f(x) = 0. Graphically, they occur where the function intersects the x-axis. Different types of functions can have varying numbers of zeros, influencing how the function behaves.
