Question

What is the initial value of the exponential fuction represented by the table ? 1/8 1/4 1/2 1​

Answer 1

Initial value of the exponential function is 1/8.

Explanation:

From the given table we can formulate the function
`f(x) = (1)/(2^((1-x)) )`

For the given function if x is -2 the value of the function is 1/8.

So if we form an exponential series the first term of the series is 1/8 at x=-2

Therefore the initial value of the function will be 1/8.

This is the answer.

Answer 2

½

Explanation:

The initial value of a geometric series is the value when x = 0 (that is,

the y-intercept).

We see rom the table that f(x) = ½ when x = 0, so the initial value of f(x) is ½.
