Question

Assuming there is a growth function f(n) , what does the value f(0) represent in general?

Answer 1

A growth function is of the form
$f(n) = a_{0} \, b^{kn} \\ where \\ k = constant \ \textgreater \ 0.$

When n = 0, obtain
f(0) = a₀, which is the initial value of the function.

Answer:
f(0) represents the initial value of the growth function f(n).
