Question

How many x or y intercepts can a quadratic function have?

0-2 x-intercepts and 0-1 y-intercept
2 x-intercepts and 1 y-intercept
0-2 x-intercepts and 1 y-intercept
1-2 x-intercepts and 0-1 y-intercept

Answer 1

0-2 x-intercepts and 0-1 y-intercepts

Explanation:

A quadratic function can have anywhere from 0 to 2 x-intercepts. This is possible because a function can have 0, 1, or 2 solutions.

A parabola can also have either 0 or 1 y intercepts. It is possible for the function to not intercept the y axis at all, and it is also possible for it to intercept it exactly one time.
