Full solution stays hidden until you ask for it.
1. Set y equal to zero.
2. Solve the resulting quadratic equation.
3. Write each real root as an x-intercept on the graph.
Use the worked steps, then substitute the final answer back into the original relationship to confirm it satisfies the prompt.
Y-intercepts or vertex coordinates as x-intercepts.
