There are no zeros.

Answer 1

To find the zeros of the quadratic function \( y = -5x^2 + 16x \), we set the function equal to zero:

\[
-5x^2 + 16x = 0
\]

We can factor out \( x \):

\[
x(-5x + 16) = 0
\]

This gives us two factors:

1. \( x = 0 \)
2. \( -5x + 16 = 0 \)

Now, solve for \( x \) in the second equation:

\[
-5x + 16 = 0
\]
\[
5x = 16
\]
\[
x = \frac{16}{5} = 3.2
\]

Thus, the zeros of the function are:

1. \( x = 0 \)
2. \( x = 3.2 \)

So the zeros in coordinate form are \( (0, 0) \) and \( (3.2, 0) \). The correct response is:

\[
(0,0) \quad (3.2,0)
\]
