Explanation:
"to find the intercepts"to find the intercepts
• " let x = 0, in the equation for y-intercept"∙ let x = 0, in the equation for y-intercept
• " let y = 0, in the equation for x-intercepts"∙ let y = 0, in the equation for x-intercepts
x=0toy=(-3)^2+17=26larrcolor(red)" y-intercept"x=0→y=(−3)2+17=26← y-intercept
y=0to(x-3)^2+17=0y=0→(x−3)2+17=0
