Document Summary

Provide a generalization to the terms listed in this section. What are intercepts: intercepts are points on a graph where the points touch or cross the co- ordinate axes, there are three di erent types of intercepts: X-intercepts are points on a graph where the points cross or touch the x-axis. Y -intercepts are points on a graph where the points cross or touch the y-axis. The origin is the only point on a graph where the point crosses or touches both the x-axis and y-axis. How do you nd the intercepts: x-intercepts. Substitute 0 for y, which is f (x). Solve for the x variable: y -intercepts. Intercepts example f (x) = x2 3x + 4. Y intercept(s) y = 02 3(0) + 4 y = 0 0 + 4 (0, 4) (cid:0) 3. (x + 4)(x 1) = 0 y = 4 x = 4, 1 ( 4, 0) , (1, 0)
