Find the X and Y intercepts.

Question

X intercept smaller x value (x,y) and X intercept larger x value (x,y).

Y= -X²+3

Answer 1

Y= -x^2 +3

Y =-(x^2-3)

Y =-(x+sqr3)(x-sqr3)

zeros, solutions, x-intercepts = +/-sqr3 = about 1.7321, or - 1.7321

in (x,y) form = larger = (sqr3,0), smaller (-sqr3,0)

or = about (1.7321, 0) and (-1.7321, 0)

Answer 2

x-intercepts are at y = 0

0 = -x² + 3

-3 = -x²

3 = x²

(-√3, 0), (√3, 0)
