Question

What is a small zero

Answer 1

Hello there, 

Zeros are the solutions to a specific polynomial
In the function below 
p(x) = x(x-5)(x-2)(x+3)

The zeros that we have are 
1) x-5 and that results in x = 5
2) x - 2 and that results in x = 2
3) x+3 and that results in x = -3
4) x = 0

So the smallest zero is the lowest solution.. 

Obviously, it is -3 
Thus the lowest zero is x+3

Hope that helps.
