I am having a hard time with this question anything helps please :)
What are the x– and y–intercepts of the graph of y = 2x^2 + 4x – 6?
What are the x– and y–intercepts of the graph of y = 2x^2 + 4x – 6?
-
y = 2x² + 4x - 6
x-int.: y = 0:
2x² + 4x - 6 = 0
x² + 2x - 3 = 0
(x + 3)(x - 1) = 0
If the product of two terms equals zero, then one or both terms equal zero.
If x + 3 = 0,
x = - 3
If x - 1 = 0,
x = 1
x-int. (- 3, 0) and (1, 0)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
y-int.: x = 0:
y = 2(0)² +4(0) - 6
y = - 6
y-int. (0, - 6)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
x-int.: y = 0:
2x² + 4x - 6 = 0
x² + 2x - 3 = 0
(x + 3)(x - 1) = 0

-
y = 2x^2 + 4x – 6
for y–intercept, it is x = 0 ;
so y = -6, i.e., (0, -6)
for x–intercept, let y=0,
2x^2 + 4x – 6 = 0
divided by 2 to all terms,
x^2 + 2x – 3 = 0
(x + 3)(x - 1) = 0
x = 1 or -3 ; i.e., (1, 0) and (-3, 0)
for y–intercept, it is x = 0 ;
so y = -6, i.e., (0, -6)
for x–intercept, let y=0,
2x^2 + 4x – 6 = 0

x^2 + 2x – 3 = 0
(x + 3)(x - 1) = 0
x = 1 or -3 ; i.e., (1, 0) and (-3, 0)
