To find the zeros of the quadratic function \( y = x^2 + 15x + 36 \), we need to solve the equation \( x^2 + 15x + 36 = 0 \).

We can use the quadratic formula, which is given by:
\[
x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}
\]
where \( a = 1 \), \( b = 15 \), and \( c = 36 \).

First, calculate the discriminant:
\[
b^2 - 4ac = 15^2 - 4(1)(36) = 225 - 144 = 81
\]

Now, we can plug the values into the quadratic formula:
\[
x = \frac{-15 \pm \sqrt{81}}{2(1)} = \frac{-15 \pm 9}{2}
\]

This gives us two solutions:
1. For the positive case:
\[
x = \frac{-15 + 9}{2} = \frac{-6}{2} = -3
\]

2. For the negative case:
\[
x = \frac{-15 - 9}{2} = \frac{-24}{2} = -12
\]

Thus, the zeros of the function are:
- Smaller zero: \( x = -12 \)
- Greater zero: \( x = -3 \)

Final answer:
- smaller zero: \( x = -12 \)
- greater zero: \( x = -3 \)

To determine the zeros of the quadratic function \( y = -x^2 + 16x - 39 \), we need to solve the equation:

\[
-x^2 + 16x - 39 = 0
\]

We can rearrange this to:

\[
x^2 - 16x + 39 = 0
\]

Now, we will apply the quadratic formula:
\[
x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}
\]

Here, \( a = 1 \), \( b = -16 \), and \( c = 39 \).

First, we calculate the discriminant:
\[
b^2 - 4ac = (-16)^2 - 4(1)(39) = 256 - 156 = 100
\]

Now we can use the quadratic formula:
\[
x = \frac{-(-16) \pm \sqrt{100}}{2(1)} = \frac{16 \pm 10}{2}
\]

This gives us two solutions:
1. For the positive case:
\[
x = \frac{16 + 10}{2} = \frac{26}{2} = 13
\]

2. For the negative case:
\[
x = \frac{16 - 10}{2} = \frac{6}{2} = 3
\]

Thus, the zeros of the function are:
- Smaller zero: \( x = 3 \)
- Greater zero: \( x = 13 \)

Final answer:
- smaller zero: \( x = 3 \)
- greater zero: \( x = 13 \)

To find the vertex and axis of symmetry of the quadratic function \( y = x^2 - 10x + 3 \), we can use the vertex formula and the property of the axis of symmetry.

The vertex \( (h, k) \) of a quadratic in the form \( y = ax^2 + bx + c \) can be found using the formulas:
- The x-coordinate of the vertex \( h \) is given by:
\[
h = -\frac{b}{2a}
\]
- The y-coordinate of the vertex \( k \) can be found by substituting \( h \) back into the quadratic function.

In our case:
- \( a = 1 \)
- \( b = -10 \)
- \( c = 3 \)

1. **Calculate \( h \)**:
\[
h = -\frac{-10}{2 \cdot 1} = \frac{10}{2} = 5
\]

2. **Calculate \( k \)** by substituting \( h \) into the function:
\[
k = (5)^2 - 10(5) + 3 = 25 - 50 + 3 = -22
\]

Thus, the vertex is \( (5, -22) \).

3. **Find the axis of symmetry**:
The axis of symmetry is given by the line \( x = h \).

So in this case:
\[
\text{axis of symmetry} : x = 5
\]

Final answer:
- vertex: \( (5, -22) \)
- axis of symmetry: \( x = 5 \)

To find the point that is symmetrical to \((-1, -3)\) with respect to the graph of the quadratic function \(y = x^2 + 12x + 8\), we need to follow these steps:

1. **Find the vertex of the quadratic**: The vertex of a parabola in the form \(y = ax^2 + bx + c\) can be found using the formula for the x-coordinate of the vertex:
\[
h = -\frac{b}{2a}
\]
In this case:
- \(a = 1\)
- \(b = 12\)

Therefore,
\[
h = -\frac{12}{2 \cdot 1} = -\frac{12}{2} = -6
\]

To find the y-coordinate of the vertex \(k\), substitute \(h\) back into the equation:
\[
k = (-6)^2 + 12(-6) + 8 = 36 - 72 + 8 = -28
\]

Thus, the vertex of the parabola is \((-6, -28)\).

2. **Find the line of symmetry**: The line of symmetry for the parabola is \(x = -6\).

3. **Determine the symmetrical point**: The point \((-1, -3)\) is on the left side of the line of symmetry \(x = -6\). To find its symmetrical point, we need to find the distance from \(-1\) to \(-6\):
\[
\text{Distance} = -6 - (-1) = -6 + 1 = -5
\]
The symmetrical point will be \(5\) units to the right of \(-6\):
\[
x_{\text{symmetrical}} = -6 + 5 = -1
\]

The y-coordinate remains the same since symmetry across the vertex leads to mirroring vertically at the vertex level, so we calculate the y-value of the original point and then reflect over the vertex.

4. **Find the y-coordinate of the symmetrical point**:
Substitute \(x = -1\) into the original equation to find \(y\):
\[
y = (-1)^2 + 12(-1) + 8 = 1 - 12 + 8 = -3
\]

Thus, the symmetrical point of \((-1, -3)\) across the vertex (\(-6, -28\)) is at the same vertical height as the original:

Therefore, the symmetrical point to \((-1, -3)\) is:
\[
(-11, -3)
\]

So, the answer is:
( \( -11, -3 \) )

To find the key points on the graph of the quadratic function \( y = x^2 - 16x + 48 \), we will identify the vertex, the x-intercepts, and the y-intercept.

### Vertex
The vertex of a quadratic function in the form \( y = ax^2 + bx + c\) can be found with the following formulas:

1. **Calculate the x-coordinate of the vertex \( h \)**:
\[
h = -\frac{b}{2a}
\]
In this case:
- \( a = 1 \)
- \( b = -16 \)

Therefore:
\[
h = -\frac{-16}{2 \cdot 1} = \frac{16}{2} = 8
\]

2. **Calculate the y-coordinate \( k \)** by substituting \( h \) back into the function:
\[
k = 8^2 - 16(8) + 48 = 64 - 128 + 48 = -16
\]

Thus, the vertex is:
\[
\text{vertex: } (8, -16)
\]

### X-Intercepts
The x-intercepts occur when \( y = 0 \):
\[
x^2 - 16x + 48 = 0
\]

We can solve this using factoring:
\[
(x - 12)(x - 4) = 0
\]

Setting each factor to zero gives us:
\[
x - 12 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = 12
\]
\[
x - 4 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = 4
\]

So the x-intercepts are:
- Smaller x-intercept: \( (4, 0) \)
- Larger x-intercept: \( (12, 0) \)

### Y-Intercept
The y-intercept occurs when \( x = 0 \):
\[
y = 0^2 - 16(0) + 48 = 48
\]

So the y-intercept is:
\[
\text{y-intercept: } (0, 48)
\]

### Summary of Key Points
- **Vertex**: \( (8, -16) \)
- **Smaller x-intercept**: \( (4, 0) \)
- **Larger x-intercept**: \( (12, 0) \)
- **Y-intercept**: \( (0, 48) \)

Final Answer:
- vertex: \( (8, -16) \)
- (smaller) x-intercept: \( (4, 0) \)
- (larger) x-intercept: \( (12, 0) \)
- y-intercept: \( (0, 48) \)
