For a quadratic function, which characteristics of its graph is equivalent to the zero of the function? a) y-intercept b) maximum point c) minimum point d) x-intercept

d) x-intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

The zeros of a function are the values of x that make y = 0.

Thus, they are the points where the graph crosses the x-axis, that is, the x-intercepts.

a) is wrong. the y-intercept is simply the value of y when x = 0.

b) and c) are wrong. A quadratic can have only one maximum or one minimum; it can't have both. And they are not zeros except in the special case of y = ±ax².

The diagram below is the graph of y = x² + 3x - 46. It shows the zeros at x = -23 and x = 20. The minimum and the y-intercept are not zeros of the function.

answer: a

step-by-step explanation:

if xy ~ yz therefore xy would be the same length as yz
