Question

using the graph, determine the coordinates of the zeros of the parabola.
answer attempt 1 out of 3
answer type: two points
two points: ( -6, 0 ) and ( -1, 0 )

Explanation:

Step1: Recall zero definition

Zeros of a parabola (quadratic function) are the x - intercepts, where \(y = 0\). So we look for points on the parabola that lie on the x - axis (\(y = 0\)).

Step2: Identify intersection points

From the graph, the parabola intersects the x - axis at two points. By reading the coordinates from the graph, we can see that the x - coordinates of these intersection points are \(- 5\) and \(-1\) (assuming the scale and markings on the x - axis), and since \(y = 0\) at these points, the coordinates of the zeros are \((-5,0)\) and \((-1,0)\).

Answer:

The coordinates of the zeros of the parabola are \((-5,0)\) and \((-1,0)\)
