y = x^2 - 3x + 2
:
x^2 - 3x + 2 = 0
:
factor the polynomial
:
(x - 2) * (x - 1) = 0
:
1) x - 2 = 0
x = 2
:
2) x - 1 = 0
x = 1
:
***********************************************************
the two x axis intercepts are (2,0) and (1,0)
:
here is a graph of the equation y = x^2 - 3x + 2
:

:
we see that the graph of the equation crosses the x axis at
the points (1,0) and (2,0)

y=x^2-3x+2=(x-2)(x-1)
when y =0, x-2=0, x=2; x-1=0, x=1
the two x-intercepts are at (1, 0) and (2, 0)
