Q:

show how to algebraically determine the ordered pair for the vertical intercept of the function w(x)= 5x-3-4x^2

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer: vertical intercept or y-intercept: (0,0) Step by step Solution: Rewrite the function in terms of y. $$ y=5x^3-4x^2 $$ To solve for the vertical intercept, let x = 0, then solve for y $$ y=5\left(0^3\right)-4\left(0^2\right)=0 $$ So, we have (0,0).
