$\"y=+sqrt%283-x%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "For the x intercept, let y=0
\n" ); document.write( " $\"0=+sqrt%283-x%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Square both sides of the equation to eliminate the square root
\n" ); document.write( " $\"0%5E2=+sqrt%283-x%29%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "This gives you:
\n" ); document.write( "0=3-x
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 3 from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "-3=-x
\n" ); document.write( "Divide by -1
\n" ); document.write( "3=x
\n" ); document.write( "To solve the y intercept, let x=0
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=+sqrt%283-0%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=+sqrt%283%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The x intercept is: (3,0)
\n" ); document.write( "The y intercept is: (0, $\"sqrt+%283%29\"$ ) \n" ); document.write( "
