Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\fcolorbox{cyan}{pink}{Answer}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Root of a polynomial is that value of x that makes the polynomial equal to 0. if and only if P(r) = 0. So the difference is: whenever one has a function f : X→R one says that x* is a zero of f if f(x*) = . ... The rule of thumbs: Zero refers to the function (e.g. polynomial) and root refers to the equation.

Answer 2

Answer:

Roots are basically values of a variable, it can be any integer. Generally when we talk about solving a Linear equation, Quadratic Equation or Cubic Equation. We talk about finding its root.

Example (1):-

2x - 10 = 6

2x = 10 + 6

x = 16/2

x = 8 ( Root of the equation is 8 )

Example (2):-

x^2 = 25

x = 25^1/2

x = 5; x = -5

While Zero is a integer which has a quite large importance in Mathematics. Discovered by Aryabhatta.
