Question

Select the correct answer.

Which statement is true about the y-intercept of a quadratic function?
O A. A quadratic function can only have one y-intercept.
OB. A quadratic function can have up to two y-intercepts.
OC. The y-intercept is also called a zero of the function.
OD. The y-intercept is located at the point where the value of yis 0.

Answer 1

Answer: Every quadratic has a (single) y-intercept. The reason for this is that the y-intercept is the function value at x = 0, and we can always substitute x = 0 into the quadratic. Thus, the y-intercept of the quadratic function y = ax2 + bx + c is c.
