Yes. A lot of hyperbolic functions have no y- intercept. Also functions of the form
Y=1/x^n
Will only go to positive infinity as it approaches zero from the positive x direction and go to negative infinity as it approaches zero from the negative x direction.

While all that is true, the functions mentioned in the above answer are not polynomial functions! All polynomial functions will have a y-intercept provided there is no additional restriction on the domain so as to exclude x = 0.

With difficulty. Plot a graph of the polynomial and see where it crosses the x axis. If it does, then y=0 at that point, and (x-a) is a factor. Sometimes you might spot where the polynomial is zero just by trying various values.
the graph of a quadratic function is a parabola. hope this helps xP

Odd Function
Because f represents a function.
