Roots, Zeros, X Intercepts, Solutions

x²-14x-51=0

• x= 17, -3

• x= -17, 3

• x= -17, -3

What is another word for zeros?

• y-intercepts

• roots

• vertex

• axis of symmetry

True or false:
The solutions, roots, x-intercepts, and zeros of a quadratic equation are all the same thing.

• True

• False, because the solution and root are the same but the x-intercept and zero are different

• False, because the x-intercept and root are the same but the zero and solution are different

• False, they are all different
