To find the intersection of the curve
[tex]y=x(x-1)(x-2)[/tex]And the x-axis, we first have to notice that the x-axis is the same as the line:
[tex]y=0[/tex]Now, we have a system of two equations.
If we substitute y = 0 into the first, we have:
[tex]x(x-1)(x-2)=0[/tex]Now, for this equation to be true, one of the factors, "x", "(x-1)" or "(x-2)" has to be zero.
So, we will have three solutions:
[tex]\begin{gathered} x=0 \\ x-1=0\leftrightarrow x=1 \\ x-2=0\leftrightarrow x=2 \end{gathered}[/tex]And since these are on the x-axis, we already know that the y values for them are all y = 0.
Thus, the points of intersections are:
[tex]\begin{gathered} (0,0) \\ (0,1) \\ (0,2) \end{gathered}[/tex]
