The significance of "a" in exponential function

An exponential function is represented as:

$y = ab^x$

In the above equation, parameter "a" is the initial value of the function

In other words, the value of the function when x = 0

Take for instance;

$y = 2*4^x$

$a = 2$ because when $x = 0$

$y = 2 * 4^0$

$y = 2 * 1$

$y = 2$

Another significance of parameter a is that; it is the y-intercept of the geometric function.
