5. rishavraj

gotcha......wht u need to solve ??

6. clamin

i need the x and y intercept

7. clamin

@rishavraj

8. rishavraj

u will get x intercept when y = 0 and y intercept wneeh x = 0

9. rishavraj

got it???

10. clamin

i still dont get it

11. clamin

i need help finding the x and y intercept cuz i dont like solving fractions

12. clamin

@rishavraj

13. rishavraj

okay see to get x intercept plug y = 0 so it would be $\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }(x + 2)^2 - 4 = 0$

14. rishavraj

so $\frac{ 1 }{ 2 } (x + 2)^2 = 4$ get....

15. rishavraj

*get x ...

16. clamin

is that my new equatio??

17. rishavraj

to find x intercept u need to solve the equation $\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }(x + 2)^2 = 4$ $(x + 2)^2 = 8$

@clamin what operation is the exact opposite of squaring? ex: if I square 5 to get 25, how can I get back to 5?

20. clamin

5

21. jim_thompson5910

what is happening when we go from 25 to 5? or from 36 to 6? or from 49 to 7?
