Question 1072180
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*0^2 + 5 }}}
  {{{ y=5 }}} 

y-intercept is at {{{ highlight(y=5)}}}
—

To find the x-intercept, set y=0 and solve for x:

 {{{  0 = -5x^2 + 5 }}}
 {{{  -5 = -5x^2 }}}
 {{{   1 = x^2 }}}

x=-1 and x=+1  both solve the above

x-intercepts are at {{{ highlight(  x=-1 )}}} and {{{ highlight(x=+1)}}}
