Find the x and y intercepts of a quadratic

The video tutorial explains how to find the X and Y intercepts of a function. It begins by introducing the concept of intercepts and their significance on a graph. The instructor explains that the X intercept is where the graph crosses the X axis, and the Y intercept is where it crosses the Y axis. The tutorial then demonstrates how to find these intercepts by substituting zero for the other variable in the function's equation. The process of solving for X intercepts is further elaborated using factoring and the zero product property.
