Find the x and y Intercepts y=x^2

Problem

y=x2

Solution

1. Find the y-intercept by setting x=0 in the equation.

y=0

y=0

2. Identify the y-intercept as the point where the graph crosses the y-axis.

y-intercept=(0,0)

3. Find the x-intercept by setting y=0 in the equation.

0=x2

4. Solve for x by taking the square root of both sides.

x=√(,0)

x=0

5. Identify the x-intercept as the point where the graph crosses the x-axis.

x-intercept=(0,0)

Final Answer

x-intercept: *(0,0), y-intercept: *(0,0)
