If i have quadratic equation in the form of ax^2+bx+c=0 what does 0 represent on a graph? is it the y intercept? If i have quadratic equation in the form of ax^2+bx+c=0 what does 0 represent on a graph? is it the y intercept? @Mathematics

Question

anonymous · Answer

the two y intercepts

amistre64 · Answer

x intercepts, but yes

amistre64 · Answer

when y = 0 we are crossing the xaxis

anonymous · Answer

ohhhh okay thank you both!

asnaseer · Answer

think of it as:$$y=ax^{2}+bx+c$$if you plot this curve, then whenever it crosses the x-axes, y will be zero. So the zero represents the y-co-ordinate of the points where the curve crosses the x-axes

that is very helpful! thank you!
