8 -2 Characteristics of Quadratic Functions Recall that an x-intercept of a function is a value of x when y = 0. A zero of a function is an xvalue that makes the function equal to 0. So a zero of a function is the same as an x-intercept of a function. Since a graph intersects the x-axis at the point or points containing an x-intercept, these intersections are also at the zeros of the function. A quadratic function may have one, two, or no zeros.
