-$$f ( x ) = x ^ { 2 } - 2$$
A) $( 0 , \pm \sqrt { 2 } ) , ( 0 , - 2 )$
B) $( \pm \sqrt { 2 } , 0 ) , ( 0,2 )$
C) $( 0 , \pm \sqrt { 2 } ) , ( 0,2 )$
D) $( \pm \sqrt { 2 } , 0 ) , ( 0 , - 2 )$

The x-intercepts are found by setting $f(x) = 0$, leading to $x^2 - 2 = 0$, which gives $x = \pm \sqrt{2}$. The y-intercept is found by setting $x = 0$, leading to $f(0) = -2$.
