Find the x and y Intercepts f(x)=5x^2(x^2-7)(x-1)^2

$f (x) = 5 x^{2} (x^{2} - 7) {(x - 1)}^{2}$

Step 1

Find the x-intercepts.

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

$0 = 5 x^{2} (x^{2} - 7) {(x - 1)}^{2}$

Solve the equation.

Rewrite the equation as $5 x^{2} (x^{2} - 7) {(x - 1)}^{2} = 0$ .

$5 x^{2} (x^{2} - 7) {(x - 1)}^{2} = 0$

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

$x^{2} = 0$

$x^{2} - 7 = 0$

${(x - 1)}^{2} = 0$

Set $x^{2}$ equal to $0$ and solve for $x$ .

Set $x^{2}$ equal to $0$ .

$x^{2} = 0$

Solve $x^{2} = 0$ for $x$ .

Take the square root of both sides of the equation to eliminate the exponent on the left side.

$x = \pm \sqrt{0}$

Simplify $\pm \sqrt{0}$ .

Rewrite $0$ as $0^{2}$ .

$x = \pm \sqrt{0^{2}}$

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

$x = \pm 0$

Plus or minus $0$ is $0$ .

$x = 0$

Set $x^{2} - 7$ equal to $0$ and solve for $x$ .

Set $x^{2} - 7$ equal to $0$ .

$x^{2} - 7 = 0$

Solve $x^{2} - 7 = 0$ for $x$ .

Add $7$ to both sides of the equation.

$x^{2} = 7$

Take the square root of both sides of the equation to eliminate the exponent on the left side.

$x = \pm \sqrt{7}$

The complete solution is the result of both the positive and negative portions of the solution.

First, use the positive value of the $\pm$ to find the first solution.

$x = \sqrt{7}$

Next, use the negative value of the $\pm$ to find the second solution.

$x = - \sqrt{7}$

The complete solution is the result of both the positive and negative portions of the solution.

$x = \sqrt{7}, - \sqrt{7}$

Set ${(x - 1)}^{2}$ equal to $0$ and solve for $x$ .

Set ${(x - 1)}^{2}$ equal to $0$ .

${(x - 1)}^{2} = 0$

Solve ${(x - 1)}^{2} = 0$ for $x$ .

Set the $x - 1$ equal to $0$ .

$x - 1 = 0$

Add $1$ to both sides of the equation.

$x = 1$

The final solution is all the values that make $5 x^{2} (x^{2} - 7) {(x - 1)}^{2} = 0$ true.

$x = 0, \sqrt{7}, - \sqrt{7}, 1$

x-intercept(s) in point form.

x-intercept(s): $(0, 0), (\sqrt{7}, 0), (- \sqrt{7}, 0), (1, 0)$

Step 2

Find the y-intercepts.

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

$y = 5 {(0)}^{2} ({(0)}^{2} - 7) {((0) - 1)}^{2}$

Solve the equation.

Remove parentheses.

$y = 5 \cdot (0^{2} ({(0)}^{2} - 7) {((0) - 1)}^{2})$

Remove parentheses.

$y = 5 \cdot (0^{2} (0^{2} - 7) {((0) - 1)}^{2})$

Remove parentheses.

$y = 5 \cdot (0^{2} (0^{2} - 7) {(0 - 1)}^{2})$

Remove parentheses.

$y = 5 {(0)}^{2} ({(0)}^{2} - 7) {((0) - 1)}^{2}$

Simplify $5 {(0)}^{2} ({(0)}^{2} - 7) {((0) - 1)}^{2}$ .

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

$y = 5 \cdot 0 ({(0)}^{2} - 7) {((0) - 1)}^{2}$

Multiply $5$ by $0$ .

$y = 0 ({(0)}^{2} - 7) {((0) - 1)}^{2}$

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

$y = 0 (0 - 7) {((0) - 1)}^{2}$

Subtract $7$ from $0$ .

$y = 0 \cdot - 7 {((0) - 1)}^{2}$

Multiply $0$ by $- 7$ .

$y = 0 {((0) - 1)}^{2}$

Subtract $1$ from $0$ .

$y = 0 {(- 1)}^{2}$

Raise $- 1$ to the power of $2$ .

$y = 0 \cdot 1$

Multiply $0$ by $1$ .

$y = 0$

y-intercept(s) in point form.

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

Step 3

List the intersections.

x-intercept(s): $(0, 0), (\sqrt{7}, 0), (- \sqrt{7}, 0), (1, 0)$

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

Step 4

Find the x and y Intercepts f(x)=5x^2(x^2-7)(x-1)^2
