The y intercept of this function is always (0, a).
This is because when we place 0 in for x (which is the only way it'll be on the y-axis, we get 'a' as a result. This is because of the rule that raising anything to the 0th power will result in the number 1 and multiplying anything by 1 gives us the same number. See the work below for the example.
F(x) = a*b^x
F(0) = a*b^0
F(0) = a*1
F(0) = a
And for an example with a random number, we'll use a = 5 and b = 3
F(x) = 5*3^x
F(0) = 5*3^0
F(0) = 5*1
F(0) = 5
No matter what a and b equal, the intercept will be the a value.
Answer:
Negative
Step-by-step explanation:
If both are negative, they can't grow when you add them. If I owe someone 3 dollars, then I owe them 3 more, I don't owe them 0, I owe them 6. The equation would be My amount of money-3-3
You have to divide both the numerator and the denominator and you get 1/3 and thats the simplest form
Answer:
66
Step-by-step explanation:
10% of 330 = 33
another 10% of 330 = 33
therefore, 20% of 330 = 66
The y-intercept represents the initial girth of the tree. Assuming that the X-axis represents time in this scenario (as it usually does) the y-axis, therefore, represents the girth of the tree. The y-intercept is located where X = 0. So if no time has passed then this must be the first measurement of the girth of the tree.
