When the curve of the equation y = (x - 1)^2 - 16
intercepts the x-axis, y = 0
(x - 1)^2 - 16 =
0
=> (x - 1)^2 =
16
=> x - 1 = 4 and x - 1 =
-4
=> x = 5 and x =
-3
The x-intercepts are (5 , 0) and (-3,
0)
When the curve intercepts the y-axis x=
0
y = (0 - 1)^2 - 16
=>
y = -15
The y-intercept is (0,
-15)
For y = (x - 1)^2 -
16, the x-intercepts are (5 , 0) and (-3, 0), and the
y-intercept is (0, -15).
