Yes. A quadratic function can have 0, 1, or 2 x-intercepts, and 0, 1, or 2 y-intercepts.
(x + 5)(x - 2)x2 + 3x - 10this is your quadratic equation
You can easily identify the x-intercepts of a graph of a quadratic function by writing it as two binomial factors! Source: I am in Algebra 2 Honors!
The greatest possible number of intercepts is: 2 of one axis and 1 of the other axis.The smallest possible number of intercepts is: One of each axis.
Solve the quadratic equation.If y = ax^2+bx+c then the intercepts arex = [-b +/- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)]/(2a).The solutions are real if and only if b^2 >= 4ac
