What are the x– and y–intercepts of the quadratic equation y = (x – 3)2 – 25? Identify the x–intercepts by graphing the quadratic equation.

Question

anonymous · Answer

$$ y = (x – 3)2 – 25$$$$ y = 2x – 6 – 25$$$$y=2x-31$$
can you do it now?

anonymous · Answer

no im still confused on what that is ... it doesnt give me a graph to grap it on

anonymous · Answer

You dan't need to, plug in 0 for x to find y intercept and plug 0 for y to find the x intercept.

don't you mean (x - 3)^2 - 25?

anonymous · Answer

maybe, i readf it as w/o a cerokee.

cwrw238 · Answer

the y intercept occurs when x = 0

cwrw238 · Answer

so when x = 0
y = (0-3)^2 - 25

can you work that out?

anonymous · Answer

i got that one but i havent gotten an of the others yet what is the next step? can you help me

cwrw238 · Answer

do you mean how to get the x-intercepts?

anonymous · Answer

yes that is what  i am talking about

cwrw238 · Answer

ok at the x intercepts y = 0
so you need to solve 
(x-3)^2 - 25 = 0
adding 25 to both sides
(x-3)^2 = 25

can you continue form here?
