Definition
Functions have zeros or x-values that generate function values equal to zero.
Equations have roots or solutions that can be substituted into the polynomial in order to generate a value equal to zero.
Given:
[tex]f(x)\text{ = -}\frac{1}{3}\sqrt[]{x}\text{ + 3}[/tex]
To convert this to an equation, we set f(x) equal to zero i.e
[tex]f(x)\text{ = 0}[/tex]
The resulting equation is:
[tex]-\text{ }\frac{1}{3}\sqrt[]{x}\text{ + 3 = 0}[/tex]
