SOLUTION: Hello, did I find the x and y intercepts of the equation properly? {{{x^2 * y = x^2 - 4y - 2}}} x=0 {{{0^2 * y = 0^2 - 4y - 2}}} {{{(-1/2) = y}}} y intercept: (0,{{{-1/2}}

Question 352495: Hello, did I find the x and y intercepts of the equation properly?

x=0

y intercept: (0,)
y=0

x intercept: (, 0)
If I did this correctly, do I leave the in the x intercept coordinates or do I convert this to decimal form, 1.41?
Thanks and have a great night!

You're doing great, but you forgot about the "plus/minus" involved when taking the square root. So the solutions of the second equation should be or

This means that the x-intercepts are

and
