This is kind of a basic question but i am trying to figure out what the
relation between the normalized frequency of a discrete frequency and one
with zeros inserted between samples.

For instance an analog signal sampled at a rate of 30 KHz, consisting of 3
sinusoid frequencies, 5.3Khz, 6.4 Khz, and 2.58 Khz.

The normalized frequency would just be F/Fs (I belive)?

But using the same samples and adding zeros between, what would be the new
normalized frequency with the zero insertion?

You mean upsampled by a factor 2?

By adding the zeros between (i.e. so that the new signal goes
[x_0 0 x_1 0 x_2 0 ...])
you are upsampling (in and exceedingly crude sort of way). So your new
sampling frequency is Fs = 60Hz, and you calculate your new normalized
frequency from that.

Not that without any follow-on filtering that's a _really bad_ way to
upsample.
