Given: The function below
[tex]y=-x^3-5x^2-3x+9[/tex]To Determine: The y-intercept
Solution
The y-intercept is the point where the function x value is zero
So, when x = 0
[tex]\begin{gathered} x=0 \\ y=-(0)^3-5(0)^0-3(0)+9 \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} y=-0-0-0+9 \\ y=9 \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the y-intercept is (0, 9), OPTION C
