Find the x and y Intercepts f(x)=1/( square root of x-9)

$f (x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{x - 9}}$

Find the x-intercepts.

To find the x-intercept(s), substitute in $0$ for $y$ and solve for $x$ .

$0 = \frac{1}{\sqrt{x - 9}}$

Solve the equation.

Set the numerator equal to zero.

$1 = 0$

Since $1 \neq 0$ , there are no solutions.

No solution

To find the x-intercept(s), substitute in $0$ for $y$ and solve for $x$ .

x-intercept(s): $None$

Find the y-intercepts.

To find the y-intercept(s), substitute in $0$ for $x$ and solve for $y$ .

$y = \frac{1}{\sqrt{(0) - 9}}$

Simplify $\frac{1}{\sqrt{(0) - 9}}$ .

Simplify the denominator.

Subtract $9$ from $0$ .

$y = \frac{1}{\sqrt{- 9}}$

Rewrite $- 9$ as $- 1 (9)$ .

$y = \frac{1}{\sqrt{- 1 (9)}}$

Rewrite $\sqrt{- 1 (9)}$ as $\sqrt{- 1} \cdot \sqrt{9}$ .

$y = \frac{1}{\sqrt{- 1} \cdot \sqrt{9}}$

Rewrite $\sqrt{- 1}$ as $i$ .

$y = \frac{1}{i \cdot \sqrt{9}}$

Rewrite $9$ as $3^{2}$ .

$y = \frac{1}{i \cdot \sqrt{3^{2}}}$

Pull terms out from under the radical, assuming positive real numbers.

$y = \frac{1}{i \cdot 3}$

Move $3$ to the left of $i$ .

$y = \frac{1}{3 i}$

Multiply the numerator and denominator of $\frac{1}{3 i}$ by the conjugate of $3 i$ to make the denominator real.

$y = \frac{1}{3 i} \cdot \frac{i}{i}$

Multiply.

Combine.

$y = \frac{1 i}{3 i i}$

Multiply $i$ by $1$ .

$y = \frac{i}{3 i i}$

Simplify the denominator.

Add parentheses.

$y = \frac{i}{3 (i i)}$

Raise $i$ to the power of $1$ .

$y = \frac{i}{3 (i^{1} i)}$

Raise $i$ to the power of $1$ .

$y = \frac{i}{3 (i^{1} i^{1})}$

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

$y = \frac{i}{3 i^{1 + 1}}$

Add $1$ and $1$ .

$y = \frac{i}{3 i^{2}}$

Rewrite $i^{2}$ as $- 1$ .

$y = \frac{i}{3 \cdot - 1}$

Multiply $3$ by $- 1$ .

$y = \frac{i}{- 3}$

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$y = - \frac{i}{3}$

To find the y-intercept(s), substitute in $0$ for $x$ and solve for $y$ .

y-intercept(s): $None$

List the intersections.

x-intercept(s): $None$

y-intercept(s): $None$
