How to Find the Zeros of a Function in GeoGebra

There are two options for finding the zeros of a function in GeoGebra: The first is to use CAS, and the other is to use the Algebra View and Graphics View.

GeoGebra Instruction 1

CAS

1.
Open CAS under GeoGebra icon View in GeoGebra icon Menu.
2.
Enter < <Your Expression> =0> in CAS.
3.
Press Solve GeoGebra icon or Solve Numerically GeoGebra icon to find the zeros.

GeoGebra Instruction 2

Algebra View and Graphics View

1.
Open Algebra View and Graphics View under GeoGebra icon View in GeoGebra icon Menu.
2.
Type your function into Algebra View and press Enter.
3.
To find the zeros, use the command

Root(<Polynomial>)

and press Enter.

Note! If your problem has a domain for the function, use Roots(<Function>, <Start x-value>, <End x-value>) instead. Type in the start and end values of the interval in the <Start x-value> and <End x-value> fields.
