Question

What are the x- and y-intercepts of y = 2x^(2) - 10x + 8?

Answer 1

for the y intercept set x=0
y=8
so (0,8)
and for the x intercepts set y=0
2x^2-10x+8=0 and solve for x

Answer 2

As lalaly says, you just need to factorize the 2x^2-10x+8=0 part. There is a simple trick to make it even simpler. Get rid of the 2 coefficient of x.
