Zeros of Polynomial
For a polynomial, there could be some values of the variable for which the
polynomial will be zero. These values are called zeros of a polynomial.
Sometimes, they are also referred to as roots of the polynomials.
P(x) = 2x2 - 2, x=1
P(1) = 2(1)2 - 2 = 2 - 2
P(1) = 0
x = 1 is the zero of the polynomial.

Relationship between Zeros and Coefficient of Quadratic Polynomial
Let α and β are zeros of Polynomial P(x) = ax2 + bx + c, then
2
α + β = -b/a = – Coefficient of x/ Coefficient of x
2
αβ = c/a = Constant term/ Coefficient of x
