Find the x and y Intercepts f(x)=x(5x+6)

$f (x) = x (5 x + 6)$

Find the x-intercepts.

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

$0 = x (5 x + 6)$

Solve the equation.

Rewrite the equation as $x (5 x + 6) = 0$ .

$x (5 x + 6) = 0$

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

$x = 0$

$5 x + 6 = 0$

Set $x$ equal to $0$ .

$x = 0$

Set $5 x + 6$ equal to $0$ and solve for $x$ .

Set $5 x + 6$ equal to $0$ .

$5 x + 6 = 0$

Solve $5 x + 6 = 0$ for $x$ .

Subtract $6$ from both sides of the equation.

$5 x = - 6$

Divide each term in $5 x = - 6$ by $5$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $5 x = - 6$ by $5$ .

$\frac{5 x}{5} = \frac{- 6}{5}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $5$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{5 x}{5} = \frac{- 6}{5}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{- 6}{5}$

Simplify the right side.

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$x = - \frac{6}{5}$

The final solution is all the values that make $x (5 x + 6) = 0$ true.

$x = 0, - \frac{6}{5}$

x-intercept(s) in point form.

x-intercept(s): $(0, 0), (- \frac{6}{5}, 0)$

Find the y-intercepts.

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

$y = (0) (5 (0) + 6)$

Solve the equation.

Multiply $0$ by $5 (0) + 6$ .

$y = 0 (5 (0) + 6)$

Remove parentheses.

$y = (0) (5 (0) + 6)$

Simplify $(0) (5 (0) + 6)$ .

Multiply $5$ by $0$ .

$y = 0 (0 + 6)$

Add $0$ and $6$ .

$y = 0 \cdot 6$

Multiply $0$ by $6$ .

$y = 0$

y-intercept(s) in point form.

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

List the intersections.

x-intercept(s): $(0, 0), (- \frac{6}{5}, 0)$

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