10: Find the x-and y-intercepts of the graph of the function f(x) = x^4 − 1
Solution :

Answer 1

Find the x-and y-intercepts of the graph of the function f(x) = x^4 − 1

Answer: The given equation is

f(x) = x^{4} - 1

x- and y-intercept of the graph of the function f(x) = x^4 - 1 is

x-intercept(s): (1,0), (−1,0)

y-intercept(s): (0, −1)

A graph of the above point is attached

Explanation:

Given equation, f(x) = x^{4} - 1

let's assume the above equation with respect to y to find intercept i.e

y = x^{4} - 1 .........................(i)

Now, for the x-intercept put y = 0 in eq.(i)

So, we get,

0 = x^4 - 1

x^4 = 1

x = -1, +1

from above we get the x-intercept (1,0), (−1,0)

Now, for the y-intercept put x = 0 in eq.(i)

So, we get

y = 0^4 - 1

y = -1

from above we get the y-intercept (0, -1)

Therefore, from all above

1. x- and y-intercept of the given equation f(x) = x^4 - 1 is

x-intercept(s): (1,0), (−1,0)

y-intercept(s): (0, −1)

Graph of the given equation f(x) = x^4 - 1 with intercept is
