6-21.
For each of the following equations, find every point where its three-dimensional graph intersects one of the coordinate axes. That is, find the x-, y- and z-intercepts. Express your answer in
To find the intercept of a given axis, set all other variables to zero.
For example, the y-intercept will be.
To find the y-intercept, letand . Repeat the process to find the z-intercept.
. and See part (a).
See part (a).
Note: You will have two x-intercepts and two z-intercepts. Why?See part (a).
