8.2 Complex Zeros

True or false:

The solution, root, x-intercept, and zero of a problem are all the same thing.

• True

• False, because the solution and root are the same but the x-intercept and zero are opposite signs.

• False, because the x-intercept and root are the same but the zero and solution are opposite signs.

• False, because the x-intercept and solution are the same but the zero and root are opposite signs.
