What are the intercepts, if any?

Solution

To identify the intercepts of the graph, we need to determine where the graph crosses the x-axis (x-intercepts) and the y-axis (y-intercepts).

X-Intercepts:

The x-intercepts occur where the curve crosses the x-axis. This means y=0y = 0.

From the graph:

  • The curve crosses the x-axis at x=πx = -\pi, x=0x = 0, and x=πx = \pi.

Therefore, the x-intercepts are: (π,0),(0,0),(π,0)(-\pi, 0), \, (0, 0), \, (\pi, 0)

Y-Intercept:

The y-intercept occurs where the curve crosses the y-axis. This means x=0x = 0.

From the graph:

  • The y-intercept occurs at (0,0)(0, 0).

So, the y-intercept is: (0,0)(0, 0)

Summary:

  • X-Intercepts: (π,0),(0,0),(π,0)(-\pi, 0), (0, 0), (\pi, 0)
  • Y-Intercept: (0,0)(0, 0)

Here are some related questions to explore:

  1. What is the equation of the graph shown?
  2. How do you find the amplitude of the trigonometric function in the graph?
  3. What are the maximum and minimum points of the graph?
  4. How do you determine the period of a trigonometric function?
  5. What is the phase shift of the function shown in the graph?

Tip: When identifying intercepts, always check the points where the graph crosses the axes. For x-intercepts, look at where y=0y = 0, and for y-intercepts, check where x=0x = 0.
