Question 17859
{{{y= sqrt(3-x)}}}
For the x intercept, let y=0
{{{0= sqrt(3-x)}}}
Square both sides of the equation to eliminate the square root
{{{0^2= sqrt(3-x)^2}}}
This gives you:
0=3-x
Subtract 3 from both sides
-3=-x
Divide by -1
3=x
To solve the y intercept, let x=0
{{{y= sqrt(3-0)}}}
{{{y= sqrt(3)}}}
The x intercept is: (3,0)
The y intercept is: (0,{{{sqrt (3)}}})
