Question
Was looking at the solution explanation in the textbook portion of bartleby but not understanding how they calculated that the x-axis is cut at x=1.5…can I get this broken down into very small parts please ?? how would I know that is what the graph looks like without plotting points? thank you!!
2/3
f(x) = (2x - 3)²²²
Where is this
function continuous?

Expert Solution
Step 1: x intercept

The intercepts of a graph are points at which the graph crosses the axes. The x-intercept is the point at which the graph crosses the x-axis. At this point, the y-coordinate is zero. The y-intercept is the point at which the graph crosses the y-axis.


at x intercept, y coordinate is zero. 


Given 

f left parenthesis x right parenthesis equals open parentheses 2 x minus 3 close parentheses to the power of 2 over 3 end exponent
y equals open parentheses 2 x minus 3 close parentheses to the power of 2 over 3 end exponent
t o space f i n d space p o i n t space a t space w h i c h space g r a p h space c u t space x space a x i s space comma space p u t space y equals 0
0 equals open parentheses 2 x minus 3 close parentheses to the power of 2 over 3 end exponent
0 equals open parentheses 2 x minus 3 close parentheses
2 x equals 3
x equals 3 over 2
x equals 1.5

at x=1.5 graph cut x axis.
