Answer

(a) see graph. (b) three intersection points. (c) $(-2,-12), (0,2), (3,8)$

Work Step by Step

(a) We put both functions on the graph with the same coordinate axes as shown. (b) Based on the graph, we can see that there are three intersection points between the two functions. (c) We can identify the coordinates of the three intersection points as $(-2,-12), (0,2), (3,8)$
