What is the y intercept of the quadratic function f(x)=x^2+x-6

Mathematics

saveliy_v [14]2 years ago

Answer:

(0,\, -6).

Step-by-step explanation:

On a cartesian plane, the y-intercept of a function is the point where the graph of that function intersects with the y\!-axis.

The y-axis of a cartesian plane is the same as the equation x = 0 (that is, the collection of all points with an x-coordinate of 0.)

Construct a system of two equations, with one equation representing y-axis and y = f(x) to represent the graph of this function:

\begin{aligned}\begin{cases} y = x^{2} + x - 6 & \text{for the quadratic function} \\ x = 0 & \text{for the $y$-axis}\end{cases}\end{aligned}.

Solve this system for x and for y. If a solution exists, then the y\!-axis and the graph of y = f(x) would indeed intersect. The point (x,\, y) would be the intersection of the y\!\!-axis and the graph of y = f(x)\!.

Substitute the second equation of the system into the first.

\begin{aligned}\begin{cases} x = 0 \\ y = -6\end{cases}\end{aligned}.

Hence, the intersection of the y-axis and the graph of y = f(x) would be (0,\, -6). By definition, this point would be the y\!-intercept of y = f(x)\!.

Answer:

The first table.

Step-by-step explanation:

Every single time, the x is being multiplied by 3 to get the y, and that means its proportional. Also, the second one is for sure NOT proportional

after elsa backed muffins, her brother ate 4 of them, he ate 2/5 of all the muffins, how many muffins did elsa bake?
kondor19780726 [428]
If he ate 4 of them, but it means he ate 2/5 muffins, 
4 muffins = 2/5 muffins
You substitute x muffins for how much muffins she baked in all -
2/5* x muffins = 4
2/5 multiply by 2/5 to cross it out. Do the same to the other side. 
x= 4 *5/2
x = 10 muffins
So there were 10 muffins in all
