we have a vertical parabola (quadratic equation) open upward

we know that

The y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero

In this problem

looking at the graph

the y-intercept is the point (0,2)

so

(0,2) is a solution

The vertex of the function is the point (1,1)

Determine the equation of the quadratic equation in vertex form

The equation is equal to

y=a(x-h)^2+k

where

a is a coefficient

(h,k) is the vertex

we have

(h,k)=(1,1)

substitute

y=a(x-1)^2+1

Find the value of a

we have the y-intercept (0,2)

substitute in the equation and solve for a

2=a(0-1)^2+1

2=a+1

a=1

therefore

teh equation is

y=(x-1)^2+1

Determine the x-intercepts

Remember that the x-intercepts are the values of x when the value of y is equal to zero

In this problem the x-intercepts are complex number

so

For y=0

(x-1)^2+1=0

(x-1)^2=-1

take square root both sides


x-1=(+-)√(-1)

Remember that

i^2=-1

so

x-1=(+/-)i

x=(+/-)i+1

therefore

the x-intercepts are

(i+1,0) and (-1+1,0)

therefore

the answer for this problem is option C
