Question

What is the y-intercept of the quadratic function
f(x) = (x – 8)(x + 3)?

Answer 1

Y-intercept is (0,-24)

Explanation:

To find the y intercept set x = to 0.

y = (0-8)(0+3) = -8*3 = -24

Answer 2

Explanation:

Step 1: Set x to 0 and solve for y

`y = (x - 8)(x + 3)`

`y = (0 - 8)(x + 3)`

`y = (-8)(3)`

`y = -24`

Answer:
`(0, -24)`
