Front

What does it mean when a function has an x-intercept?

Back

It means the function crosses the x-axis at that point.

Front

How many x-intercepts can a quadratic function have?

Back

A quadratic function can have 0, 1, or 2 x-intercepts.

Front

What is the relationship between x-intercepts and roots?
