  The quadratic function has two distinct real zeros.

Step-by-step explanation:

The fundamental theorem of algebra says the number of zeros is equal to the degree of the polynomial. A quadratic (2nd degree) will have two zeros.

We are given that the function has two x-intercepts (real zeros), so we can conclude ...

  The quadratic function has two distinct real zeros.
