Answer

$-(0)^4+4(0)^3-4(0)^2=0$ $0=0$ $-(2)^4+4(2)^3-4(2)^2=0$ $-16+32-16=0$ $0=0$

Work Step by Step

$-x^4+4x^3-4x^2=0$ When graphing, the $x$-intercepts are $0$ and $2$. Simply plug these values into the equation to check the solutions. $-(0)^4+4(0)^3-4(0)^2=0$ $0=0$ $-(2)^4+4(2)^3-4(2)^2=0$ $-16+32-16=0$ $0=0$
