We already know how to find where the graph of f(x) cuts the x−axis. That’s where y = 0. We calculate it by solving the equation f(x) = 0 .

Heya!!
1) If Descrimnant comes out > 0 then the graph will intersect x-axis at two different points.
2) if Descrimnant comes out = 0 then the will touch x-axis at one point.
3) if Descrimnant cones out < 0 then the graph won't touch x-axis.
Exp:-
It's Descrimnant is = (8)²-4(1)(15)
= 64 - 60 = +4
Descrimnant comes out +ive So, the will intersect x-axis at two different points.
Have a nice day ahead.
