i understand finding the roots of an equation as finding the X intercept.
so i am able to find a few points on the graph thru factoring the equation.
whoop dee doo!!!
from a practical point of view, that is still a meaningless abstraction for me and doesn't explain the practical use or explain why mathematicians and scientists find them so important.
can someone explain the deeper meaning of why finding the roots of an equation is so important.
i can digest a lot of other math abstractions but i have not found anything that explains ROOTS OF AN EQUATION in more simpler terms of why
thanks
