II. Zeros of a Function: the xvalues for which f(x ) = 0.
To find the zeros of a function, set the function equal to zero and solve for x .
A. Find the zeros (also called roots or solutions) of the given function algebraically.
To find Zeros: set equation = zero and solve

Summary: Yesterday's lesson
1) When asked to find the DOMAIN, you are finding:
All values of X that work
(when substituted in you get a defined value for y)
Process:
Look for fractions denominator cannot = 0
Lood for even root radicals > Numerator must be greater or equal to 0
> Denominator must be greater than 0
Today's lesson
2) When asked to find the ZEROS, you are finding:
x when y = 0 (the x intercepts)
Process:
