X Intercepts Math
You may think of this as a point with y value of zero.
X intercepts math. The x intercept is the point at which a line crosses the x axis and the y intercept is the point at which a line crosses the y axis. Find the x intercept s. Set the function equal to zero. E 3x is e 3 x and e 3x is e 3 x.
A horizontal line only has a y intercept while a vertical line only has an x intercept. In general you can skip the multiplication sign so 5 x is equivalent to 5 x. The figure below shows an example of an x intercept green dot and a y intercept red dot. An x intercept is a point in the equation where the y value is zero and a y intercept is a point in the equation where the x value is zero.
More about x intercept the y coordinate of the point where a line intersects the x axis is 0 so the x intercept of a line can also be found by substituting y 0 in the equation of the line. The x intercept is the x coordinate of the point where a line crosses the x axis. The x intercepts are points where the graph of a function or an equation crosses or touches the x axis of the cartesian plane. The calculator will find the x and y intercepts of the given function expression or equation.
Summary the concept of x and y intercept is quite simple. Lines always have both an x and y intercept unless the line is a horizontal or a vertical line. In general you can skip parentheses but be very careful. Solve to find the y intercept.
Also be careful when you write fractions. To find the x intercepts of an equation let y 0 y 0 then solve for. 1 x 2 ln x is 1 x 2 ln x and 1 x 2 ln x is 1 x 2 ln x. The y intercept is the y coordinate of the point where a line crosses the.
Intercepts f x x 3 intercepts f x cos 2x 5 intercepts f x sin 3x. In the above we discussed a line whose general equation is. The x intercept is the point where the graph cuts the x axis and the y intercept is the point where the graph cuts the y. So the x intercept of the line is 3.
So at x intercept y is 0 and at y intercept x is 0. In the figure the line crosses the x axis at b 3 0.
