Answer:

Once. at (3,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

It is handy to have a graphing calculator for this kind of question.

Otherwise work it out.

All the terms are multiples of 3, so simplify.[tex]3(x^{2} -6x + 9)[/tex]

then factor (x -3)(x-3)

Set each equal to 0 and solve for x.

x - 3 = 0    x = 3

OH ! they are identical! So there is only One value for x that will produce an output of 0.

So it intersects (touches) only once.
