Algebra Find the X and Y Intercepts y=square root of x y= √ x To find the x-intercept, substitute in 0 for y and solve for x. (0)= √ x Since x is on the right side of the equation, switch the sides so it is on the left side of the equation. √ x =0 To remove the radical on the left side of the equation, square both sides of the equation. ( √ x )2=(0)2 Simplify the left side of the equation. x=(0)2 Simplify the right side of the equation. Tap for more steps... x=0 To find the y-intercept, substitute in 0 for x and solve for y. y= √ 0 Solve the equation. Tap for more steps... y=0 These are the x and yintercepts of the equation y= √ x . x-intercept: (0,0) y-intercept: (0,0)
