Question: ok, one thing that was never explained to me very well is functions. i just don't get them, or what is asked of me regarding them.

for example:

find all the real zeros of the function:
f(x)=2x3 + 4x2 - 2x - 4

would you please help me out?

Hi Sky.

"Find all the real zeros of the function" means to find all values of x where f(x) = 0 and where x has no imaginary part. Really, it just means to put 0 in place of "f(x)" and solve for x.
