9. Intercept of a function example ( Enter your problem )
  1. `y=x^2+3x-4` Example-1
  2. `y=(x+2)^2-9` Example-2
  3. `y=3x^2+6x-1` Example-3
  4. `y=3(x+1)^2-4` Example-4

1. `y=x^2+3x-4` Example-1





1. `y=x^2+3x-4`, find Intercept of a function

Solution:
`y=x^2+3x-4`

1. Intercepts :
Intercept :
To find the y-intercept put x=0 in `y=x^2+3x-4`, we get

`y=(0)^2+3(0)-4=-4`

`:.` y-intercept is `(0,-4)`


To find the x-intercept put y=0 in `y=x^2+3x-4`, we get

`=>x^2+3x-4=0`

`=>x^2-x+4x-4 = 0`

`=>x(x-1)+4(x-1) = 0`

`=>(x-1)(x+4) = 0`

`=>(x-1) = 0" or "(x+4) = 0`

`=>x = 1" or "x = -4`

`:.` x-intercepts are `(1,0)` and `(-4,0)`
