Math Problem Statement

The quadratic function g(x) = 3x^{2} + 6x + 3 has y-intercept. What is the y-intercept of g(x)? Question 13Answer

a. (3, 0)

b. (0, -3)

c. (0, 3)

d. (-3, 0)

Solution

To find the y-intercept of a function, we substitute x=0x = 0 into the function g(x)g(x) and solve for g(0)g(0).

Given: g(x)=3x2+6x+3g(x) = 3x^2 + 6x + 3

Substitute x=0x = 0: g(0)=3(0)2+6(0)+3=3g(0) = 3(0)^2 + 6(0) + 3 = 3

So, the y-intercept of g(x)g(x) is: (0,3)(0, 3)

The correct answer is: c. (0, 3)
