To calculate: The x- and y- intercepts for the equation

Answer to Problem 53E
The x-intercepts are 0 and4 and y-intercept is 0.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The equation
Formula used:
The x-intercepts are the points on x-axis where the graph of the equation intersects the x-axis.
The y-intercepts are the points on y-axis where the graph of the equation intersects the y-axis.
Calculation:
Consider the provided equation
Observe from the graph that the curve intersects x-axis at two points 0 and 4 and y-axis only at one point that is 0.
Recall that the x-intercepts are the points on x-axis where the graph of the equation intersects the x-axis.
Substitute
Either
Simplify it, either
Therefore, x-interceptsare 4 and 0.
Recall that the y-intercepts are the points on x-axis where the graph of the equation intersects the y-axis.
Substitute
Therefore, y-intercept is 0.
Thus, the x-intercepts are0 and 4 and y-intercept is 0.
