A quadratic equation with real or complex coefficients has two solutions, called roots.
Roots are also called x-intercepts or zeros. ... The roots of a function are the x-intercepts. By definition, the y-coordinate of points lying on the x-axis is zero. Therefore, to find the roots of a quadratic function, we set f (x) = 0, and solve the equation, ax2 + bx + c = 0.
