To find the zeros and the vertex of the quadratic function \( y = 3x^2 - 12x - 36 \), we can follow these steps:

1. **Identify coefficients**: Here, \( a = 3 \), \( b = -12 \), and \( c = -36 \).

2. **Find the zeros**:
We can find the zeros of the function by using the quadratic formula:
\[
x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}
\]

Substitute \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \) into the formula:
\[
x = \frac{-(-12) \pm \sqrt{(-12)^2 - 4(3)(-36)}}{2(3)}
\]
\[
x = \frac{12 \pm \sqrt{144 + 432}}{6}
\]
\[
x = \frac{12 \pm \sqrt{576}}{6}
\]
\[
x = \frac{12 \pm 24}{6}
\]

This gives us two solutions:
\[
x = \frac{36}{6} = 6 \quad \text{and} \quad x = \frac{-12}{6} = -2
\]

Thus, the zeros are:
- \( x = 6 \)
- \( x = -2 \)

3. **Find the vertex**:
The x-coordinate of the vertex for a quadratic function is given by the formula:
\[
x = -\frac{b}{2a}
\]
Substituting the values of \( b \) and \( a \):
\[
x = -\frac{-12}{2 \cdot 3} = \frac{12}{6} = 2
\]

To find the y-coordinate of the vertex, substitute \( x = 2 \) back into the equation:
\[
y = 3(2)^2 - 12(2) - 36
\]
\[
y = 3(4) - 24 - 36
\]
\[
y = 12 - 24 - 36 = -48
\]

Thus, the vertex is at \( (2, -48) \).

4. **Conclusion**:
- \( FREE \, Cherry \, Blossom \, Flower \, Clipart \, | \, Pearly \, Arts = -2 \)
- \( Tulip \, Clipart \, Images \, | \, Free \, Download \, | \, PNG \, Transparent = 6 \)
- \( Four \, Leaf \, Clover \, Outline \, Images \, - \, Browse \, 9,367 \, Stock \, Photos \, .. = -48 \)

These values correspond to the zeros of the quadratic function and the y-coordinate of the vertex.
