Finding Zeros of First and Second-Degree Polynomial Functions

This video explains how to find the zeros of first and second-degree polynomial functions by setting the function equal to zero and solving for x. It also discusses the concept of linear functions and their x-intercepts, as well as the process of factoring quadratic functions to find their zeros. The video emphasizes the importance of understanding the difference between setting the function equal to zero and finding the value of the function when x is zero.
