Step 1 :The vertical intercept of a function is the point where the graph of the function intersects the y-axis. This occurs when x = 0. So, to find the vertical intercept for the function \(f(x)=\frac{x-4}{(x-7)(x+7)}\), we need to substitute x = 0 into the function and solve for y.
Step 2 :Substitute x = 0 into the function: \(f(0)=\frac{0-4}{(0-7)(0+7)} = 0.08163265306122448\)
Step 3 :\(\boxed{\text{The vertical intercept for } f \text{ is } y = 0.08163265306122448}\)
