We solve polynomials algebraically in order to determine the roots - where a curve cuts the \(x\)-axis. A root of a polynomial function, \(f(x)\), is a value for \(x\) for which \(f(x) = 0\).

American Journal of Mathematics, Vol. 124, No. 1 (Feb., 2002), pp. 1-48 (48 pages) We consider zeta functions defined as Euler products of $W(p,p^{-s})$ over all ...

Roots can occur in a parabola in 3 different ways as shown in the diagram below: In diagram A, we can see that this parabola has 2 roots, diagram B has 1 root and diagram C has no roots. What type of ...
