Question

What is the y-intercept of y=5(6.8)^x A. 5 B. 6.8 C. 1 D. x

Answer 1

Hello,

answer A

5*6.8^0=5*1=5

Answer 2

Answer: A. 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The given exponential equation:

$y=5(6.8)^x$

To calculate the y intercept , we need to substitute x =0 , the given equation, we get

$y=5(6.8)^0\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=5(1)......................\text{Since}\ a^0=1\\\\\Rightarrow y=5$

Hence, the y intercept of the given exponential equation = 5.
