Solution Steps

Step 1: Find the y-intercept

To find the y-intercept, set \( x = 0 \) in the equation \( y = x^2 - 4 \).

\[ y = 0^2 - 4 = -4 \]

Thus, the y-intercept is the point \((0, -4)\).

Step 2: Find the x-intercepts

To find the x-intercepts, set \( y = 0 \) in the equation \( y = x^2 - 4 \) and solve for \( x \).

\[ 0 = x^2 - 4 \]

\[ x^2 = 4 \]

\[ x = \pm 2 \]

Thus, the x-intercepts are the points \((-2, 0)\) and \((2, 0)\).

Final Answer

The intercepts of the equation \( y = x^2 - 4 \) are:

\[ \boxed{(0, -4), (-2, 0), (2, 0)} \]

The correct choice is A.

Changes in state are called phase changes. A phase change is a change from one physical state (gas, liquid, or solid) to another. The amount of energy necessary to melt 30 kJ 1 mole of any solid is called its enthalpy of fusion. The amount of energy necessary to vaporize 1 mole of any substance is called its enthalpy of vaporization. 68 kJ The enthalpy of vaporization of liquid isopropyl alcohol is 45 kJ / mol. Calculate the energy required to vaporize 39.5 g of this compound.
