Q. Find the y-intercept of the parabola y=x2+x. Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer._____
Evaluate Equation: To find the y-intercept of the parabola, we need to evaluate the equation y=x2+x when x=0.
Substitute x=0: Substitute x=0 into the equation y=x2+x.y=(0)2+(0)=0+0=0
Find Y-Intercept: The y-intercept occurs at the point where the parabola crosses the y-axis, which is when x=0. Since we found y=0 when x=0, the y-intercept is at the point (0,0).
