Problem

Find the y-intercept and any x-intercept(s) of the parabola with equation y=4(x4)2+16

If the parabola doesn't have any x-intercepts, type DNE, meaning "does not exist."
If the parabola has two x-intercepts, use a comma to separate them.

Answer

The final answer for the x-intercept(s) is 2,6

Steps

Step 1 :To find the y-intercept, set x=0 and solve for y in the equation y=4(x4)2+16

Step 2 :Substitute x=0 into the equation to get y=4(04)2+16

Step 3 :Simplify the equation to get y=4(4)2+16

Step 4 :Calculate the value to get y=4(16)+16

Step 5 :Simplify further to get y=64+16

Step 6 :Finally, calculate the y-intercept to get y=48

Step 7 :To find the x-intercept(s), set y=0 and solve for x in the equation y=4(x4)2+16

Step 8 :Substitute y=0 into the equation to get 0=4(x4)2+16

Step 9 :Rearrange the equation to get 4(x4)2=16

Step 10 :Divide both sides by 4 to get (x4)2=4

Step 11 :Take the square root of both sides to get x4=±2

Step 12 :Solve for x to get the x-intercept(s) as x=4±2

Step 13 :Calculate the values to get the x-intercept(s) as x=2 and x=6

Step 14 :The final answer for the y-intercept is 48

Step 15 :The final answer for the x-intercept(s) is 2,6
