Find the coordinates of the y-intercept and x-intercepts of the following. (image!)
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We can do this a couple of ways. We can graph it -- see below. Or we can do the math.
Math
y = x^2 - 2x - 15
This trinomial factors into
y = (x - 5)(x + 3)
from which
x - 5= 0
x = 5
and
x + 3 = 0
x = - 3
The y intercept is the value obtained when all the xs on the right = 0
y = 0^2 - 2*0 - 15
y = - 15
<em>Answer</em>
- x intercepts: (-3,0),(5,0)
- y intercept: (0,-15)
The graph is below.

Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>7) The lengths of the tangent from an external point to a circle are equal.</h3>2x - 1 = x + 10
2x = x + 10 + 1
2x = x + 11
2x -x = 11
8) Radius : XC
Chord: CB
Diameter : AB
Name of the circle: X {a circle is named by its center}
