Question

f(x) = x2 – 2x - 8
Use the quadratic function graphed to answer the questions.
1.
What is the y-intercept? Put a square around it on the graph.

Answer 1

Answer:

The y-intercept is the point (0,-8)

see the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$f(x)=x^{2}-2x-8$

we know that

The y-intercept is the value of the function f(x) when the value of x is equal to zero

so

For x=0

$f(x)=0^{2}-2(0)-8\\f(x)=-8$

therefore

The y-intercept is the point (0,-8)
