Math Problem Statement
Find the y-intercept by setting x equal to 0 and computing f(0).
Solution
To find the y-intercept of a function , follow these steps:
- Set in the given function .
- Compute , which is the value of the function when .
For example, if the function is:
then substituting :
The y-intercept is .
If you provide the specific function , I can compute the y-intercept for you.
Would you like to provide a specific function or have further details?
