I know the answer is no x intercepts because we have an answer sheet to check our answers i just forgot how to do this and would appreciate an explanation: ind the number of x-intercepts of y= -x^2 + 4x - 12

negative square root will result in zero x-intercepts

Step-by-step explanation:

there are no x-intercepts because if you use the quadratic formula on the equation you get a negative square root which results in zero x-intercepts

in this case, a=-1, b=4, c=-12

[-4±√4² - 4(-1)(-12)] / 2(-1)

= [-4 ± √16-48] / -2

= -4 ± √-32 / -2

not only in mathematics, scientific proof also are required in the other field of science. also maths proofs are of particular structure, containing steps and logics. so proving is like doing science, it is science. that's why it is important to prove. 

an inaccurate proof leads to errors, or stating results that are not accurate.  which wil mess the probelm up you dont want this
