Answer:

• x-intercept: (-1.5, 0).

,

• y-intercept: (0, 1).

Explanation:

Given the function:


f(x)=(2x+3)/(x^2+3)

(a)x-intercept

The x-intercept is the value of x at which f(x)=0.

When f(x)=0


\begin{gathered} (2x+3)/(x^2+3)=0 \\ \text{ Cross multiply} \\ 2x+3=0 \\ \text{ Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation} \\ 2x+3-3=0-3 \\ 2x=-3 \\ \text{ Divide both sides of the equation by 2} \\ (2x)/(2)=-(3)/(2) \\ x=-1.5 \end{gathered}

The x-intercept is located at (-1.5, 0).

(b)y-intercept

The y-intercept is the value of f(x) at which x=0.

When x=0


\begin{gathered} f(x)=(2x+3)/(x^2+3) \\ f(x)=(3)/(3) \\ f(x)=1 \end{gathered}

The y-intercept is at (0, 1).

(c)Graph

The graph of f(x) is given below:
