Verified Answer :

It has two x-intercepts because the exponent of the equation is 2 and the graph crosses the x-axis twice

Answer:

2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

We have been given a function formula \(y=2x^2-8x+5\). We are asked to determine the number of x-intercepts that our function could have by graphing.

Since our given function is a quadratic function, so it could have at-most two x-intercepts as it will cross x-axis at-most two times.

Upon looking at our attached graph we can see that our given function crosses x-axis at two points, therefore, our given function has two x-intercepts.
