find the x and y intercepts of x^2+4x+y^2-2y=0
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "x-intercepts ???
\n" ); document.write( "Let y = 0 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+4x = 0
\n" ); document.write( "x(x+4) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "x = 0 or x = -4
\n" ); document.write( "The x-intercepts are (0,0) and (-4,0)
\n" ); document.write( "========================
\n" ); document.write( "y-intercepts ???
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = 0 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "y^2-2y = 0
\n" ); document.write( "y(y-2) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "y = 0 or y = 2
\n" ); document.write( "The y-intercepts are (0,0) and (0,2)
\n" ); document.write( "============================================
