x-intercept = 0

y-intercept = 0

domain = (-∞, 6)

Range = (8, +∞)

Here, we want to graph the given piecewise equation

From the question, we have two equations

There is a quadratic equation and a linear equation

For values of x less than 2, we make use of the quadratic equation

For vaules between 2 and 6, we make use of values between 2 and 6

Now, when we talk of the x-intercept, we simply mean the positions on the graph on which y = 0

From the range we have, the value of x at which y is 0 is the point where x = 0 which corresponds to the origin

For the y-intercept, we can only have the value of f(x) as 0 when x is 10

For the quadratic equation, the y-intercept is at x = 0, so 0 is the y-intercept

The domain refers to the values on the x-axis

The domain in this case is (-∞, 6)

The range refers to the value on the y-axis

In this case, that will be (8, ∞)

8 is obtained by substituting the value of x = 2 into the equation
