To analyze the function \( f(x) = x^2 - 3x + 2 \):
-
Graph the function: You can graph this function using Desmos or any other graphing tool.
-
Calculate \( f(0) \): \[ f(0) = 0^2 - 3(0) + 2 = 2 \]
-
Calculate \( f(1) \): \[ f(1) = 1^2 - 3(1) + 2 = 1 - 3 + 2 = 0 \]
-
Calculate \( f(2) \): \[ f(2) = 2^2 - 3(2) + 2 = 4 - 6 + 2 = 0 \]
-
The y-intercept is found by evaluating \( f(0) \), which is located at \( (0, f(0)) = (0, 2) \).
Therefore, the ordered pair for the y-intercept is: \[ \text{Y-intercept: } (0, 2) \]
