Question

using the graph, determine the coordinates of the zeros of the parabola.
answer
two points
one point
one equation
answer type

Explanation:

Step1: Recall zero definition

Zeros of a parabola (quadratic function) are the x - intercepts, i.e., points where \(y = 0\) (the parabola crosses the x - axis).

Step2: Identify x - intercepts

From the graph, the parabola crosses the x - axis at two points. Looking at the x - axis coordinates, one crossing is at \(x=-5\) (so the point is \((-5,0)\)) and the other is at \(x = 1\) (so the point is \((1,0)\)).

Answer:

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