Find the zeros of f(x) = x2 – 6x + 8 by using a graph and table.
Example 1: Finding Zeros by Using a Graph or Table
Method 1 Graph the function f(x) = x2 – 6x + 8. The graph opens upward because a > 0. The y-intercept is 8 because c = 8.
Find the vertex: The x-coordinate of the vertex is .
Find the zeros of f(x) = x2 – 6x + 8 by using a graph and table.
Example 1 Continued
Find f(3): f(x) = x2 – 6x + 8
f(3) = (3)2 – 6(3) + 8
f(3) = 9 – 18 + 8
f(3) = –1
Substitute 3 for x.
The vertex is (3, –1)
x 1 2 3 4 5
f(x) 3 0 –1 0 3
Plot the vertex and the y-intercept. Use symmetry and a table of values to find additional points.
The table and the graph indicate that the zeros are 2 and 4.

You can also find zeros by using algebra. For example, to find the zeros of f(x)= x2 + 2x – 3, you can set the function equal to zero. The solutions to the related equation x2 + 2x – 3 = 0 represent the zeros of the function.
The solution to a quadratic equation of the form ax2 + bx + c = 0 are roots. The roots of an equation are the values of the variable that make the equation true.
You can find the roots of some quadratic equations by factoring and applying the Zero Product Property.
• Functions have zeros or x-intercepts.
• Equations have solutions or roots.

Any object that is thrown or launched into the air, such as a baseball, basketball, or soccer ball, is a projectile. The general function that approximates the height h in feet of a projectile on Earth after t seconds is given.
Note that this model has limitations because it does not account for air resistance, wind, and other real-world factors.
A golf ball is hit from ground level with an initial vertical velocity of 80 ft/s. After how many seconds will the ball hit the ground?
Example 3: Sports Application
h(t) = –16t2 + v0t + h0
h(t) = –16t2 + 80t + 0
Write the general projectile function.
Substitute 80 for v0 and 0 for h0.
Example 3 Continued
The ball will hit the ground when its height is zero.
–16t2 + 80t = 0
–16t(t – 5) = 0
–16t = 0 or (t – 5) = 0
t = 0 or t = 5
Set h(t) equal to 0.
Factor: The GCF is –16t.
Apply the Zero Product Property.
Solve each equation.
The golf ball will hit the ground after 5 seconds. Notice that the height is also zero when t = 0, the instant that the golf ball is hit.
Check It Out! Example 3
A football is kicked from ground level with an initial vertical velocity of 48 ft/s. How long is the ball in the air?
h(t) = –16t2 + v0t + h0
h(t) = –16t2 + 48t + 0
Write the general projectile function.
Substitute 48 for v0 and 0 for h0.
Check It Out! Example 3 Continued
The ball will hit the ground when its height is zero.
–16t2 + 48t = 0
–16t(t – 3) = 0
–16t = 0 or (t – 3) = 0
t = 0 or t = 3
Set h(t) equal to 0.
Factor: The GCF is –16t.
Apply the Zero Product Property.
Solve each equation.
The football will hit the ground after 3 seconds. Notice that the height is also zero when t = 0, the instant that the football is hit.
