Answer:

2 x-intercepts

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form of quadratic equation: [tex]\sf y=ax^2+bx+c[/tex]

Given equation: [tex]\sf y=x^2+3x[/tex]

Therefore:

  • a = 1
  • b = 3
  • c = 0

Discriminant: [tex]\sf b^2-4ac[/tex]

Substituting values into discriminant:

[tex]\sf \implies 3^2-4(1)(0)=9[/tex]

As discriminant > 0 then 2 real roots (2 x-intercepts)
