The x-intercepts are obtained by solving the equation for those value of x for which y or f(x) = 0 : where f(x) is the equation of the curve or line.
If f(x) is a straight line, and the equation is in the form y = mx + c, then y = 0 gives x = -c/m
For a quadratic, of the form y = ax2 + bx + c, the x-intercents are the root sof the equation, ie [-b ± sqrt(b2 - 4ac)]/(2a). The intercepts are real only when the discriminant, b2 - 4ac is non-negative.
From the equation, the y intercept is simply determined by setting x = 0. The x intercept(s) are generally much harder to find: you will need to find the solutions of y = 0 [or f(x) = 0]. From the graph the intercepts are the coordinates of the points at which the graph crosses the axes.
The 'x' and 'y' intercepts of that equation are both at the origin.
The question does not contain an equation (or inequality) but an expression. An expression cannot have intercepts.
The vertex must be half way between the two x intercepts
Let us say you X intercepts are -2 and 3 set up (X + 2)(X - 3) FOIL X^2 - X - 6 = 0 ----------------------- your parabolic equation
type you answer here!
The roots of the quadratic equation are the x-intercepts of the curve.
A circle represented by an equation x^2 + y^2 = r^2 or a circular object represented by an equation Ax^2 + By^2 = r^2 has 2 y-intercepts and 2 x-intercepts.
The x-intercept of an equation is any location where on the equation where x=0. In the case of a parabolic function, the easiest way to obtain the x intercept is to change the equation into binomial form (x+a)(x-b) form. Then by setting each of those binomials equal to zero, you can determine the x-intercepts.
Only if the discriminant of its equation is greater than zero will it have 2 different x intercepts.
These are the real ROOTS of the quadratic equation when it equals zero. Example : x2- 7x + 10 = 0 can be written as (x - 5)(x - 2) = 0 Then x = 5 and x = 2 are the roots of this equation.
Given the linear equation 3x - 2y^6 = 0, the x and y intercepts are found by replacing the x and y with 0. This gives the intercepts of x and y where both = 0.
