To find the real zeros of the function y = 2(x - 3)^3 + 4, set the function equal to zero and solve for x:

2(x - 3)^3 + 4 = 0

Subtract 4 from both sides:

2(x - 3)^3 = -4

Divide by 2:

(x - 3)^3 = -2

Now, take the cube root of both sides:

x - 3 = ∛(-2)

x - 3 ≈ -1.26 (approximate cube root of -2)

Now, solve for x:

x ≈ -1.26 + 3
x ≈ 1.74

So, the real zero of the function is approximately x = 1.74.
