y= -5x^2 +5
Find the x and y intercepts if any
——————————————————————
To find the y-intercept, set x=0 and solve for y:
+y+=+-5%2A0%5E2+%2B+5+
+y=5+
y-intercept is at +highlight%28y=5%29
—
To find the x-intercept, set y=0 and solve for x:
++0+=+-5x%5E2+%2B+5+
++-5+=+-5x%5E2+
+++1+=+x%5E2+
x=-1 and x=+1 both solve the above
x-intercepts are at +highlight%28++x=-1+%29 and +highlight%28x=%2B1%29
