To find the zeros of the quadratic function, we need to set y (or f(x)) equal to 0 and solve for x.
0 = x^2 - 4x - 12
To solve for x, we can factor the quadratic equation:
0 = (x - 6)(x + 2)
Setting each factor equal to 0, we get:
x - 6 = 0 or x + 2 = 0
x = 6 or x = -2
Therefore, the zeros of the quadratic function are x = 6 and x = -2.
0 = x^2 - 4x - 12
To solve for x, we can factor the quadratic equation:
0 = (x - 6)(x + 2)
Setting each factor equal to 0, we get:
x - 6 = 0 or x + 2 = 0
x = 6 or x = -2
Therefore, the zeros of the quadratic function are x = 6 and x = -2.
