Final answer:

The x-intercepts of the equation y=(1-x²)/(2+x²) are x=-1 and x=1.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x-intercept(s) of the equation y=(1-x²)/(2+x²), we set y=0 and solve for x.

Setting y=0, we get:

0=(1-x²)/(2+x²)

Multiplying both sides by (2+x²), we get:

0=1-x²

Simplifying the equation, we have:

x²=1

Taking the square root of both sides, we get:

x=±1

So the x-intercepts of the equation y=(1-x²)/(2+x²) are x=-1 and x=1.
