Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x-intercepts of a quadratic equation, let y = 0. Write down the new equation ax squared + bx + c = 0 and the quadratic formula that gives the solution as x = -b plus or minus the square root of (b squared - 4ac), all divided by 2a. The quadratic formula can give zero, one or two solutions.
