Find the x and y Intercepts f(x)=(x^2+6)

$f (x) = (x^{2} + 6)$

Find the x-intercepts.

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

$0 = x^{2} + 6$

Solve the equation.

Rewrite the equation as $x^{2} + 6 = 0$ .

$x^{2} + 6 = 0$

Subtract $6$ from both sides of the equation.

$x^{2} = - 6$

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

$x = \pm \sqrt{- 6}$

Simplify $\pm \sqrt{- 6}$ .

Rewrite $- 6$ as $- 1 (6)$ .

$x = \pm \sqrt{- 1 (6)}$

Rewrite $\sqrt{- 1 (6)}$ as $\sqrt{- 1} \cdot \sqrt{6}$ .

$x = \pm \sqrt{- 1} \cdot \sqrt{6}$

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

$x = \pm i \sqrt{6}$

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.

$x = i \sqrt{6}$

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

$x = - i \sqrt{6}$

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

$x = i \sqrt{6}, - i \sqrt{6}$

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 $y$ .

$y = {(0)}^{2} + 6$

Solve the equation.

Remove parentheses.

$y = {(0)}^{2} + 6$

Remove parentheses.

$y = 0^{2} + 6$

Remove parentheses.

$y = {(0)}^{2} + 6$

Simplify ${(0)}^{2} + 6$ .

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

$y = 0 + 6$

Add $0$ and $6$ .

$y = 6$

y-intercept(s) in point form.

y-intercept(s): $(0, 6)$

List the intersections.

x-intercept(s): $None$

y-intercept(s): $(0, 6)$
