24.6.1 A Function's Zero Is the Equation's Root

Core idea

At the point where a curve crosses the x-axis, the x-coordinate is both a zero of the function and a root of the equation f(x)=0.

Module goal. Unify the roots of equations through a function lens, master the existence theorem for zeros and the bisection method, laying groundwork for continuity and approximation
