The zeros of a function are the values of x that make the function be equal to zero.
When graphing a quadratic equation, the graph is a parabola, and the zeros of the function are the x-intercepts of the graph, which are the points where the graph intersects the x-axis.
So, if the zeros of this function are x = -8 and x = 2, that means the parabola crosses the x-axis at x = -8 and x = 2.
