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

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

Find the x-intercepts.

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

$0 = x^{2} + x$

Solve the equation.

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

$x^{2} + x = 0$

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

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

$x \cdot x + x = 0$

Raise $x$ to the power of $1$ .

$x \cdot x + x = 0$

Factor $x$ out of $x^{1}$ .

$x \cdot x + x \cdot 1 = 0$

Factor $x$ out of $x \cdot x + x \cdot 1$ .

$x (x + 1) = 0$

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

$x = 0$

$x + 1 = 0$

Set $x$ equal to $0$ .

$x = 0$

Set $x + 1$ equal to $0$ and solve for $x$ .

Set $x + 1$ equal to $0$ .

$x + 1 = 0$

Subtract $1$ from both sides of the equation.

$x = - 1$

The final solution is all the values that make $x (x + 1) = 0$ true.

$x = 0, - 1$

x-intercept(s) in point form.

x-intercept(s): $(0, 0), (- 1, 0)$

Find the y-intercepts.

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

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

Solve the equation.

Remove parentheses.

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

Remove parentheses.

$y = 0^{2} + 0$

Remove parentheses.

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

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

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

$y = 0 + 0$

Add $0$ and $0$ .

$y = 0$

y-intercept(s) in point form.

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

List the intersections.

x-intercept(s): $(0, 0), (- 1, 0)$

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