the number of x-intercepts in the graph of
.....set



x-intercepts is at (,)



the number of -intercepts in the graph of
.....set


= ±

x-intercepts is at ( ,) and ( ,

As you can see, the parent function f(x) is shifted units down and becomes its image g(x).
Therefore, has x-intercept at (,) andhas x-intercepts at ( ,) and ( ,)
