Question

Find the intercepts of y=x^4+1/ 2x^5

Answer 1

Which intercept? \(x\) or \(y\)?

Answer 2

Both

Answer 3

@AJQ


I guess i explained you before my friend :)


For x-intercept

y=0

For y-intercept

x=0

Answer 4

To calculate the \(y\)-intercept, just plug in \(x =0\) and solve for \(y\).
For the \(x\)-intercept, just plug in \(y=0\) and solve for \(x\).

Answer 5

For the X- intercept I did 0=x^4+1/2x^5
x^4+1 = 0
x=1; x=-1

Answer 6

I'm following the example in the book, but I don't understand.
