Please see below.

Explanation:

As we have y=2+12sin2(x5) and any sine ratio has maximum value of +1 and minimum value of 1,

maximum value of y will be 2+12=212 and minimum value will be 212=112. As such there is no x-intercept.

Hence y will move between these two numbers.

Maxima 212 is there when 2(x5)=4n+12π i.e. at x=4n+14π+5=nπ+π4+5 and some values are x={0.4978,2.6438,5.7854,8.927,12.0686}

Minima 112 is there when 2(x5)=4n12π i.e. at x=4n14π+5=nππ4+5 and some values are x={2.0686,1.073,4.2146,7.3562,10.4978}

Mean value 2 appears at 2(x5)=nπ i.e. x=n2π+5 and some values are x={0.2876,1.8584,3.4292,5,6.5708,8.1416,9.7124}

Now when x=0, we have y=2+12×sin(5) ad considering it in radiansm y=2+12×0.9589=2.4795 and hence y intercept is 2.48

and function appears as follows

graph{2+(1/2)sin(2x-10) [-1.46, 8.54, -0.58, 4.42]}
