Graphing and intercepts
Finding the x–intercepts (roots to the equation when y = 0) and the y–intercepts (x = 0). Make sure that the V-Window
is set up to see the graph efciently.
Graphing two equations and nding the intersection points.
Finding the intersection points of two graphs, where f (x) = g(x).Make sure that the V-Window is set up to see the graph
efciently.

for Y-ISCT (y-intercept)
Example
Solve y = (x + 1) (x + 2) (x - 1) and y = x + 1
simultaneously to nd the points of intersection.
