Question

I still haven received help for this question and I really need it.

How do i find the x and y intercept of the function for me to graph

Answer 1

x intercept:when y is 0
y intercept:when x is 0

Answer 2

\[\frac{ 2 }{ x^{2} - 2x -3}\]

Answer 3

@acxbox22 how do i find x and y ?

Answer 4

for the y intercept plug in 0 for x and solve for y
for the x intercept plug in 0 for y and solve for x

Answer 5

\[y=\frac{ 2 }{ x^2-2x-3 }\]
\[y =\frac{ 2 }{ (0)^2-2(0)-3 }\]

Answer 6

that is for the y intercept

Answer 7

In got finding the Y but not finding x

Answer 8

Answer 9

^^^

Answer 10

i am confused on x intercept as well

Answer 11

For the x-intercept, we set y equal to 0...
0 = 2 / (x^2 - 2x - 3)
The key thing to note is that a fraction will be zero only where its \(numerator\) is zero.
Essentially, we can just multiply both sides by the denominator and remove it:
0 = 2 <-- now we solve for x here... except there are no solutions!
So there are no x-intercepts!

Answer 12

thanks i was confused because i kept on thinking that x=2

Answer 13

X is equal to 0 not 2 for clarification

Answer 14

there is no xintercept
