Find the x and y Intercepts F(x) = cube root of x-5

$F (x) = \sqrt[3]{x - 5}$

Find the x-intercepts.

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

$0 = \sqrt[3]{x - 5}$

Solve the equation.

Rewrite the equation as $\sqrt[3]{x - 5} = 0$ .

$\sqrt[3]{x - 5} = 0$

To remove the radical on the left side of the equation, cube both sides of the equation.

${\sqrt[3]{x - 5}}^{3} = 0^{3}$

Simplify each side of the equation.

Use $\sqrt[n]{a^{x}} = a^{\frac{x}{n}}$ to rewrite $\sqrt[3]{x - 5}$ as ${(x - 5)}^{\frac{1}{3}}$ .

${({(x - 5)}^{\frac{1}{3}})}^{3} = 0^{3}$

Simplify the left side.

Simplify ${({(x - 5)}^{\frac{1}{3}})}^{3}$ .

Multiply the exponents in ${({(x - 5)}^{\frac{1}{3}})}^{3}$ .

Apply the power rule and multiply exponents, ${(a^{m})}^{n} = a^{m n}$ .

${(x - 5)}^{\frac{1}{3} \cdot 3} = 0^{3}$

Cancel the common factor of $3$ .

Cancel the common factor.

${(x - 5)}^{\frac{1}{3} \cdot 3} = 0^{3}$

Rewrite the expression.

${(x - 5)}^{1} = 0^{3}$

Simplify.

$x - 5 = 0^{3}$

Simplify the right side.

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

$x - 5 = 0$

Add $5$ to both sides of the equation.

$x = 5$

x-intercept(s) in point form.

x-intercept(s): $(5, 0)$

Find the y-intercepts.

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

$y = \sqrt[3]{(0) - 5}$

Simplify $\sqrt[3]{(0) - 5}$ .

Subtract $5$ from $0$ .

$y = \sqrt[3]{- 5}$

Rewrite $- 5$ as ${(- 1)}^{3} \cdot 5$ .

Rewrite $- 5$ as $- 1 (5)$ .

$y = \sqrt[3]{- 1 (5)}$

Rewrite $- 1$ as ${(- 1)}^{3}$ .

$y = \sqrt[3]{{(- 1)}^{3} \cdot 5}$

Pull terms out from under the radical.

$y = - 1 \sqrt[3]{5}$

Rewrite $- 1 \sqrt[3]{5}$ as $- \sqrt[3]{5}$ .

$y = - \sqrt[3]{5}$

y-intercept(s) in point form.

y-intercept(s): $(0, - \sqrt[3]{5})$

List the intersections.

x-intercept(s): $(5, 0)$

y-intercept(s): $(0, - \sqrt[3]{5})$
