\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}♨

Let's use the discriminant method, we have to find discriminant of the given quadratic function, if discriminant is greater than 0, then it has two intercepts, if it is equal to 0, then it has 1 intercepts and if it is smaller than 0, then it has no x intercepts.


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:D = {b}^(2) - 4ac

where, a, b and c are coefficients of x², x and constant term. D = discriminant


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:D = {( - 30)}^(2) - 4(22 * 1)


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:D = 900 - 4(22 )


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:D = 900 - 88


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:D = 812

Discriminant is greater than 0, hence it has two x - intercepts.

Answer:

There are 2 x-intercepts

Explanation:

The equation has 2 x variables, so the graph would have 2 x -intercepts.
