Answer:

zeros are x = - 3 and x = 1

Explanation:

given

y = 3x² + 6x - 9 ← factor out 3 from each term on the right side

y = 3(x² + 2x - 3) ← factor the quadratic

y = 3(x + 3)(x - 1) ← in intercept form

to find the zeros equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 3 = 0 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

x = - 3

x - 1 = 0 ( add 1 to both sides )

x = 1

the zeros are then x = - 3 and x = 1
