What is the distance between the y-intercepts of the graph of #x + 8 = 2(y+3)^2#?
1 Answer
Distance between y-intercepts is
Explanation:
Given equation is
One must know that when the function crosses the y-axis, the
Given that there will be 2 points on the y-axis that the equation will map through. So, taking the above equation and making 2 equations such for the two points, we get
Given that we have to find the distance between the 2 points, and hence we have to do
So, from the above equation
Doing as such, we get
The 2 points
