Question

Explain why the initial value of any function of the formf(x) = a(b) is equal to a.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer in the procedure

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$f(x)=a(b)^{x}$

This is a exponential function

where

a is the initial value

b is the base

we know that

The initial value of the function is the value of f(x) when the value of x is equal to zero

substitute x=0 in the function

$f(0)=a(b)^{0}$

Remember that any number to the zero power is one

so

$(b)^{0}=1$

substitute

$f(0)=a*1=a$
