8-130.
Set x to 0 and solve for y to find the y-intercept(s).
Set y to 0 and solve for x to find the x-intercept(s).
Let x = 0 to find the y-intercept.
y = 2(0)³ − 10(0)² − (0)
0 = 2x³ − 10x² − x
0 = x(2x² − 10x² − 1)
Let y = 0 to find the x-intercept. Then factor and use the Zero Product Property and the Quadratic Formula.
y-intercept: (0,0)
See part (a).
x-intercept: (10, 0)
no y-intercept
