For some reason this confuses me. Find the zeros of the function by rewriting it in intercept form.

OpenStudy (candyme):

\[y=x^2+8x+15\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

zeros of the function means , where the graph cross x axis. That means points of the graph where y coordinate is equal to 0

OpenStudy (candyme):

I know, but I don't remember and intercept form for quadratics.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just put y=0 in the equation to find x-intercept \[x ^{2}+8x+15=0\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

factorising: (x+3)(x+5)=0 so x=-3 and x=-5 are the zeros
