Math Problem Statement
Solution
The graph you provided shows a quadratic curve, which is a parabola, and the problem asks to "identify the x-intercepts of the graph."
X-intercepts:
The x-intercepts are the points where the graph crosses the x-axis. From the image, we can see that the parabola crosses the x-axis at two points:
Therefore, the x-intercepts are:
These are the solutions to the equation of the parabola when .
