No. 1) Check graph [first attachment]
No. 2) y = (x - 2)^2 - 3, y = 1
(x - 2)^2 - 3 = 1,
(x - 2)^2 = 4
x - 2 = √4, x - 2 = - √4
x = 4, x = 0
Substitute back to determine the respectively y-value:
y = (4 - 2)^2 - 3 = (2)^2 - 3 = 4 - 3 = 1
Check: y = (0 - 2)^2 - 3 = (-2)^2 - 3 = 4 - 3 = 1
So the points of intersection are (4, 1) and (0, 1). According to the graph, that is correct.
