Answer 1

Answer:

2 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Well let's first graph the quadratic equation,

Look at the image below ↓

By looking at the image below we can tell that the graph touches the x axis 2 times at,

(-1,0)

(1 1/3,0)

Thus,

the parabola touches the x axis twice.

Hope this helps :)
