Answer

$2$

Work Step by Step

The given function is $\Rightarrow g(x)=3x^2-12x+12$ Substitute $0$ for $g(x)$. $\Rightarrow 0=3x^2-12x+12$ Factor out $3$. $\Rightarrow 0=3(x^2-4x+4)$ Factor the trinomial. $\Rightarrow 0=3(x-2)(x-2)$ Use zero product property. $\Rightarrow x-2=0$ or $x-2=0$ Solve for $x$. $\Rightarrow x=2$ or $x=2$ Hence, the zero of the function is $2$.
