Question

WHat is the y- intercept of the quadratic function f(x)=(x-6)(x-2)?

Answer 1

I think it's (0, -12)

Answer 2

Answer:

The y-intercept of the quadratic function f(x) is 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

$f(x)=(x-6)(x-2)$

At y-axis the value of x is 0.

Substitute x=0 in the given function to find the y-intercept of the function.

$f(0)=(0-6)(0-2)$

On simplification, we get

$f(0)=(-6)(-2)$

$f(0)=12$

The graph of function intersect y-axis at (0,12).

Therefore the y-intercept of the quadratic function f(x) is 12.
