Find the x and y Intercepts f(x)=(x^2-100)/(3x^2+30x)

$f (x) = \frac{x^{2} - 100}{3 x^{2} + 30 x}$

Step 1

Find the x-intercepts.

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

$0 = \frac{x^{2} - 100}{3 x^{2} + 30 x}$

Solve the equation.

Set the numerator equal to zero.

$x^{2} - 100 = 0$

Solve the equation for $x$ .

Add $100$ to both sides of the equation.

$x^{2} = 100$

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

$x = \pm \sqrt{100}$

Simplify $\pm \sqrt{100}$ .

Rewrite $100$ as $10^{2}$ .

$x = \pm \sqrt{10^{2}}$

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

$x = \pm 10$

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.

$x = 10$

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

$x = - 10$

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

$x = 10, - 10$

Exclude the solutions that do not make $0 = \frac{x^{2} - 100}{3 x^{2} + 30 x}$ true.

$x = 10$

x-intercept(s) in point form.

x-intercept(s): $(10, 0)$

Step 2

Find the y-intercepts.

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

$y = \frac{{(0)}^{2} - 100}{3 {(0)}^{2} + 30 (0)}$

The equation has an undefined fraction.

Undefined

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

y-intercept(s): $None$

Step 3

List the intersections.

x-intercept(s): $(10, 0)$

y-intercept(s): $None$
