Find the x and y Intercepts f(x)=(-2x^2+10x)/(4x-20)

$f (x) = \frac{- 2 x^{2} + 10 x}{4 x - 20}$

Find the x-intercepts.

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

$0 = \frac{- 2 x^{2} + 10 x}{4 x - 20}$

Solve the equation.

Set the numerator equal to zero.

$- 2 x^{2} + 10 x = 0$

Solve the equation for $x$ .

Factor $- 2 x$ out of $- 2 x^{2} + 10 x$ .

Factor $- 2 x$ out of $- 2 x^{2}$ .

$- 2 x \cdot x + 10 x = 0$

Factor $- 2 x$ out of $10 x$ .

$- 2 x \cdot x - 2 x \cdot - 5 = 0$

Factor $- 2 x$ out of $- 2 x (x) - 2 x (- 5)$ .

$- 2 x (x - 5) = 0$

If any individual factor on the left side of the equation is equal to $0$ , the entire expression will be equal to $0$ .

$x = 0$

$x - 5 = 0$

Set $x$ equal to $0$ .

$x = 0$

Set $x - 5$ equal to $0$ and solve for $x$ .

Set $x - 5$ equal to $0$ .

$x - 5 = 0$

Add $5$ to both sides of the equation.

$x = 5$

The final solution is all the values that make $- 2 x (x - 5) = 0$ true.

$x = 0, 5$

Exclude the solutions that do not make $0 = \frac{- 2 x^{2} + 10 x}{4 x - 20}$ true.

$x = 0$

x-intercept(s) in point form.

x-intercept(s): $(0, 0)$

Find the y-intercepts.

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

$y = \frac{- 2 {(0)}^{2} + 10 (0)}{4 (0) - 20}$

Solve the equation.

Remove parentheses.

$y = \frac{- 2 \cdot 0^{2} + 10 (0)}{4 (0) - 20}$

Remove parentheses.

$y = \frac{- 2 {(0)}^{2} + 10 (0)}{4 (0) - 20}$

Simplify $\frac{- 2 {(0)}^{2} + 10 (0)}{4 (0) - 20}$ .

Simplify the numerator.

Raising $0$ to any positive power yields $0$ .

$y = \frac{- 2 \cdot 0 + 10 (0)}{4 (0) - 20}$

Multiply $- 2$ by $0$ .

$y = \frac{0 + 10 (0)}{4 (0) - 20}$

Multiply $10$ by $0$ .

$y = \frac{0 + 0}{4 (0) - 20}$

Add $0$ and $0$ .

$y = \frac{0}{4 (0) - 20}$

Simplify the denominator.

Multiply $4$ by $0$ .

$y = \frac{0}{0 - 20}$

Subtract $20$ from $0$ .

$y = \frac{0}{- 20}$

Divide $0$ by $- 20$ .

$y = 0$

y-intercept(s) in point form.

y-intercept(s): $(0, 0)$

List the intersections.

x-intercept(s): $(0, 0)$

y-intercept(s): $(0, 0)$
