Math Problem Statement

Identify the y-intercept

Solution

The graph you've provided shows a function, and the task is to identify the y-intercept.

Y-Intercept Explanation:

  • The y-intercept of a function is the point where the graph crosses the y-axis. This occurs when x=0x = 0.

Identifying the Y-Intercept:

  • On the graph, look at the point where the curve intersects the y-axis (the vertical line at x=0x = 0).
  • From the image, the curve crosses the y-axis at approximately y=0y = 0.

Conclusion:

The y-intercept is (0,0)(0, 0).

  1. How can the y-intercept be found algebraically if the equation of the function is known?
  2. What is the significance of the y-intercept in the context of real-world applications?
  3. How do you find the x-intercepts of a function?
  4. What role do intercepts play in sketching the graph of a function?
  5. Can a function have more than one y-intercept? Why or why not?

Tip:

The y-intercept gives valuable information about a function's initial value, particularly in real-world scenarios like physics or economics. Always check this point when analyzing a function graph.
