What is the y-intercept of this function? f(x) = 2(x - 7)2 – 32
1 answer:
We are given the following function and want to find the y-intercept:
Just substitute the value x=0 into the equation to find the value of the y-intercept:
Simplify
Simplify again
Since the value of f(x), or y, when x=0 is 66, the y-intercept of this function is 66.
Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

To find f(5) ⇒ substitute with x = 5 in the function → x²
∴ f(5) = 5² = 25
To find f(2) ⇒ substitute with x = 5 in the function → x²
∴ f(2) = 2² = 4
To find f(-2) ⇒ substitute with x = 5 in the function → 2x
∴ f(-2) = 2 * (-2) = -4
To find f(1) ⇒ substitute with x = 1 in the function → 5
∴ f(1) = 5
