Math Problem Statement

If f(x)=10x, what are the coordinates for the y-intercept of f(x)+3?

Solution

The function given is f(x)=10xf(x) = 10x, and you're asked to find the y-intercept of f(x)+3f(x) + 3.

The y-intercept occurs where x=0x = 0. So, to find the y-intercept, substitute x=0x = 0 into the equation f(x)+3f(x) + 3.

f(x)+3=10x+3f(x) + 3 = 10x + 3

When x=0x = 0:

f(0)+3=10(0)+3=0+3=3f(0) + 3 = 10(0) + 3 = 0 + 3 = 3

Therefore, the y-intercept is at (0,3)(0, 3).

Do you need more details or have any questions?

Here are some related questions for further exploration:

  1. What is the slope of the line represented by f(x)+3f(x) + 3?
  2. How would the graph of f(x)+3f(x) + 3 differ from the graph of f(x)f(x)?
  3. What are the coordinates of the x-intercept of f(x)+3f(x) + 3?
  4. How does shifting the function vertically affect its intercepts?
  5. What is the domain and range of f(x)+3f(x) + 3?

Tip: Always check the impact of constants added or subtracted on the y-intercept, as it represents a vertical shift.
