The y-intercept is located where

\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%281%2F2%29%2A%28+x-1+%29%5E3+%2B+4+=+0+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "This is the equation to locate the
\n" ); document.write( "roots by setting $\"+y+=+0+\"$ , so I

\n" ); document.write( " $\"+y+=+%281%2F2%29%2A%28+0-1+%29%5E3+%2B+4+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+y+=+%281%2F2%29%2A%28-1%29+%2B+4+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+y+=+-1%2F2+%2B+4+\"$

\n" ); document.write( " $\"++y+=+7%2F2+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "The y-intercept is at ( 0, 7/2 )
