To determine which parent function is periodic and has an intercept at (0, 1), let's analyze the given options:
1. **y = 10^x (Exponential Function)**: This function is not periodic. It passes through (0, 1) because \(10^0 = 1\), but it does not satisfy the periodicity condition.
2. **y = tan(x) (Tangent Function)**: This function is periodic, with a period of \(\pi\). However, it does not have an intercept at (0, 1). The value at x = 0 is \(tan(0) = 0\).
3. **y = sin(x) (Sine Function)**: This function is periodic with a period of \(2\pi\). At x = 0, \(sin(0) = 0\), so it does not have an intercept at (0, 1).
4. **y = cos(x) (Cosine Function)**: This function is also periodic with a period of \(2\pi\). At x = 0, \(cos(0) = 1\), which means it does have an intercept at (0, 1).
From these analyses, the correct answer is:
**y = cos(x)** (it is periodic and has an intercept at (0, 1)).
