Question 1018039
.
Hello there, I have a quiz tomorrow and I was wondering if you could help me find the x and y intercepts of a function. (Like written in f(x) style) All the tutorials I found online only deal with the equation if it is in a y = mx+b form, but I can't figure out how to how to do it if it is in something like a f(x) = 3x + 3 (just an example). Would I just treat the f(x) like y or would I do something else? Thank you in Advance

<pre>
If you are given a function y = f(x)  
(where f(x) can be linear function, quadratic function, polynomial function, rational function, doesn't matter) 
and if you are asked to find x-intercep or y-intercept, then


1. y-intercept is the value f(0). 
  
   To get this value, simply substitute x=0 into f(x).


2. x-intercept is the root of the equation f(x) = 0.

   To get this value, you need to solve this equation.
