Find the intercepts of y=2x−x2y = 2 x - x ^ { 2 }y=2xx2 .

A) x -intercept: (0,0) y -intercepts: (0,0) and (2,0)
B) x -intercepts: (0,0) and (2,0) y -intercept: (0,0)
C) x -intercepts: (0,0) and (12,0) \left( \frac { 1 } { 2 } , 0 \right) (21,0) y -intercept: (0,0)
D) x -intercepts: (0,0) and (−2,0) ( - 2,0 ) (2,0) y -intercept: (0,0) ( 0,0 ) (0,0)
E) x -intercepts: (−2,0) ( - 2,0 ) (2,0) and (2,0) ( 2,0 ) (2,0) y -intercept: (0,0) ( 0,0 ) (0,0)

Intercepts

Points where a graph crosses the axes of a coordinate system, typically identified as x-intercepts (where the graph crosses the x-axis) and y-intercepts (where it crosses the y-axis).

  • Identify the points at which quadratic functions intersect the axes.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
To find the x-intercepts, we set y = 0 and solve for x. Thus,
0 = 2x - x^2
x(2-x) = 0
So, x = 0 or x = 2. These are the x-intercepts. To find the y-intercept, we set x = 0 and solve for y. Thus,
y = 2(0) - 0^2
y = 0
So the only y-intercept is (0,0). Choice B is the only option that includes both x-intercepts (0,0) and (2,0) and the y-intercept (0,0).
