Answer:
d) x-intercept
Step-by-step explanation:
The zeros of a function are the values of x that make y = 0.
Thus, they are the points where the graph crosses the x-axis, that is, the x-intercepts.
a) is wrong. the y-intercept is simply the value of y when x = 0.
b) and c) are wrong. A quadratic can have only one maximum or one minimum; it can't have both. And they are not zeros except in the special case of y = ±ax².
The diagram below is the graph of y = x² + 3x - 46. It shows the zeros at x = -23 and x = 20. The minimum and the y-intercept are not zeros of the function.
