Question

The y-intercept of h(x)=(x^2-16)/(x-4) is

a. (0,4)
b. (0,0)
c. (0,-4)
)

Answer 1

Set x to zero and solve

Answer 2

It doesnt give you x...

Answer 3

\[\frac{x^2-16 }{x- 4 } = \frac{ (0)^2 -16 }{ 0-4} \]

Answer 4

what it is asking when it says that y intercept, is when does y cross x.

Answer 5

so my answer will be "c" because thats what I have **crosses fingers.

Answer 6

nooo

Answer 7

-16/-4 = 4 lol negs cancel

Answer 8

(O,4) is your solution.

Answer 9

Thank you... So basically i have to follow the rules of sign numbers with this?

Answer 10

All you have to understand with this is that when it asks for the Y-intercept, what it wants to know is when the x value is zero, what is y. and then basic math skills

Answer 11

Alright. Thank you.

Answer 12

Yeah as in a graph, when the middle line of the t is zero. if that makes more sense.
