find x and y intercepts. 5x/x^2+25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x intercept is when y is set = to 0 and the y intercepts are when x is set equal to 0, so just plug in 0 for y and then solve for x for your x intercepts. Plug in 0 for x and solve for y for your y intercepts. Just basic arithmetic after you plug in.

sorry i meant \[y=\frac{ 5x }{ x ^{2}+25 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when I plug in 0, it turns the overall answer to 0 as well

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah yes, the same rules apply. your Y intercept for this problem is 0 as you said.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you must solve \[0 = \frac{ 5x }{ x^2+25 }\] for X to find your x intercept whcih also results in 0 so both intercepts are equal to 0 for this equation.

thank you!!
