check please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (phi):

the intercepts are where this figure (an ellipse) crosses the x and y axes so you should have (0, ±y) and (±x,0) for your intercepts

OpenStudy (phi):

to find them, replace x with 0 and solve for y 0+49y^2= 49 divide both sides by 49 y^2= 1 y= ±1 do the same with y=0 to find the x-intercepts

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i got (-7,7) and (-1,1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or do you write them as (-7,0) (0,7) and (-1,0) (0,1)?

OpenStudy (phi):

yes, but I would put the answers as (x,y) pairs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so (-7,-1) and (7,1)

OpenStudy (phi):

(0,1), (0,-1), (7,0), (-7,0) notice that if you plot these points they will be on the figure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok i understand, and this is symmetric to the x-axis, y-axis and origin right?

OpenStudy (phi):

yes, it is symmetric with the x-axis, the y-axis and the origin

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you

OpenStudy (phi):

Here is a plot of it http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=x%5E2+%2B49+y%5E2%3D49
