The cube root function is given by the equation \( f(x) = \sqrt[3]{x} \). To determine where this function intersects the y-axis, we set \( x = 0 \).
Calculating \( f(0) \):
\[ f(0) = \sqrt[3]{0} = 0 \]
Thus, the point of intersection on the y-axis is \( (0, 0) \).
Therefore, the answer is: The point of intersection is (0, 0).
