For the sake of simplicity, in the sequel a (Laurent) polynomial of negative degree is understood to be the zero polynomial and, similarly, a banded matrix with negative bandwidth reduces to the zero matrix.
A zero of a function is the value of the independent variable which makes the value of the function equal to zero. Sometimes called a root of the function, as well. Example: â¦ f(x) = x - 3. The value of x, which makes f(x) = 0 is x = 3, so the zero of the function is x=3. For f(x) = x2 - 9: The values, {x=3 and x=-3} both are zeros of this function. To make it more simple, when looking at a graph, the zero is where your function crosses or touches the x-axis.
