The function is $\"f$ .

The intersects the x-axis when f(x) = 0.

$\"x$

$\"x$ (2x can be written as 6x $\"minus\"$ 4x)

$\"x$ (Take out common terms)

$\"left$ (Simplify)

$\"x$ (Apply zero product property)

$\"x$ (Simplify) $\"\"$

Since the trinomial factors into two distinct factors,

the graph of the function intersects the x-axis 2 times.

The roots are $\"x$ .
