Question

Determine which function has a greater initial value and explain how you know.

Answer 1

Answer:

Function 2 has a greater initial value

Step-by-step explanation:

An initial value of a function, aka y-intercept, is obtained by using x=0 and evaluating the function at that point. Evaluating the two functions given:

Function1: $y=2x(\frac{1}{3})^x|_{x=0}=2\cdot 0\cdot 1 = 0$

Function2 has value 3 for x=0

So, Function 2 has a greater initial value

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer - Function 2

Function 1 - y = 2x (1/3)^x    x = 0 =2*0*1 = 0

Function 2 have the value for 3 for x = 0

Function 2 is greater
