To find the zeros of the quadratic function \( y = -3x^2 + 12x + 15 \), we can set \( y \) to 0 and solve for \( x \):
\[ -3x^2 + 12x + 15 = 0 \]
Next, we can rearrange the equation:
\[ 3x^2 - 12x - 15 = 0 \]
Now, we can apply the quadratic formula, where \( a = 3 \), \( b = -12 \), and \( c = -15 \):
\[ x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \]
Calculating the discriminant \( b^2 - 4ac \):
\[ b^2 - 4ac = (-12)^2 - 4 \times 3 \times (-15) = 144 + 180 = 324 \]
Now applying the quadratic formula:
\[ x = \frac{-(-12) \pm \sqrt{324}}{2 \times 3} \] \[ x = \frac{12 \pm 18}{6} \]
This gives us two solutions:
- \( x = \frac{12 + 18}{6} = \frac{30}{6} = 5 \)
- \( x = \frac{12 - 18}{6} = \frac{-6}{6} = -1 \)
So, the zeros of the function are \( (5, 0) \) and \( (-1, 0) \).
The correct response is: \((-1, 0)(5, 0)\)
