a) 5x + 6y = 30
To find the x-intercepts, we need to let y = 0, then solve for x.
Substituting y = 0 into the given equation, we have:
5x = 30
x = 6
So the x-intercepts is 6.
To find the y-intercepts, we need to let x = 0, then solve for y.
Substituting x = 0 into the given equation, we have:
6y = 30
y = 5
So the y-intercepts is 5.
b) 5x^3 + y = 5
Substituting y = 0 into the equation, we have
5x^3 = 5
x^3 = 1
x = 1
So the x-intercepts is 1.
Substituting x = 0 into the equation, we have
y = 5
So the y-intercepts is 5.
