Answer:

How many zeros? 2

What are the intercepts? -4 and -2

=======================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The term "zeros" in this context means "roots" or "x intercepts".

We look where the parabola either crosses the x axis, or touches it before bouncing back.

In this case, it crosses the x axis at -4 and -2 which are the two roots.
