Hi,
To compute for the intercepts of a quadratic function, we must substitute y = 0 and solve for x to get the x-intercepts, and substitute x = 0 and solve for y to get the y-intercept. There are 2 x-intercepts and 1 y-intercept because a quadratic function is a 2nd degree function, so 2 values of x will satisfy the same value of y.
The challenging topic depends on your own experience. Just mention the topics you had the hardest time learning but you have eventually overcome through studying more about it.
