Let f ( x ) = x 2 + x 6.
a. Write down the y-intercept of the graph of f.
how do we figure this out? I know f ( x ) means y, so do we use the quadratic formula? x 2 + x 6.
b. Solve f ( x ) = 0.
We plug 0 into the x’s in the original formula, right?

When you're being asked for the y-intercept of the graph, you're being asked where your graph crosses the y axis - i.e. where x = 0. This is what you need for part a ).
For part b ), you're being asked where the graph crosses the x axis, and this is where y = 0 or alternatively where f ( x ) = 0. As such, you need to solve the equation f ( x ) = 0, for x.
