field of geometry is called a geometer. In this section we are going to either be given the list of zeroes
or they will be easy to find. In the next section we will go into a
method for determining a large portion of the list for most
polynomials. We are graphing first since the method for
finding all the zeroes of a polynomial can be a little long and
we don’t want to obscure the details of this section in the
mess of finding the zeroes of the polynomial.
A minor arc is the shorter arc connecting two endpoints If two central angles of a circle (or of congruent

The measure of a minor arc is less than 180°180° , and are congruent. (Short form: If central angles congruent,
equal to the measure of the arc's central angle . then arcs congruent.)
A major arc is the longer arc connecting two endpoints

The measure of a major arc is greater than 180°180° ,
