Y-intercept is at (0,7) ; X-intercepts are at (5/sqrt2-3,0) and (-5/sqrt2-3,0)

Explanation:

Y-intercept: putting x=0 in the equation we get y= -2*9+25=7 So Y-intercept is at (0,7); X-ntercept : putting y=0 in the equation we get 2(x+3)^2=25 or (x+3)^2=25/2 or x+3 = 5/sqrt 2 or x+3 = -5/sqrt2 or x=-3+5/sqrt2 or x= -3-5/sqrt2 graph{-2(x+3)^2+25 [-80, 80, -40, 40]}[Ans]
