Question

Use the quadratic function table below to answer the following question.

x, -2, 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10
f(x), 36, 16, 4, 0, 4, 16, 36
What is the y-intercept?

Answer 1

The y-intercept of a function is the value of \( f(x) \) when \( x = 0 \). From the table you provided, when \( x = 0 \), the value of \( f(0) \) is 16.

Therefore, the y-intercept is \( 16 \).
