Answer

TRUE. The x-intercepts are imaginary numbers $2 ± \sqrt 3i$. Thus, the graph of the equation $y = (x - 2)^2 + 3$ will not have x-intercepts.

Work Step by Step

TRUE. $y = (x - 2)^2 + 3$ To get the x-intercept, set the $y$ value to zero. $0 = (x - 2)^2 + 3$ $-3 = (x - 2)^2$ $x = 2 ± \sqrt 3i$
