Question

amon is graphing the function f(x) = 3(4)x. He begins by plotting the initial value. Which graph represents his initial step?

Answer 1

The graph in the attached figure

Explanation:

we have

`f(x)=3(4)^(x)`

This is a exponential function of the form

`y=a(b)^(x)`

where

a is the initial value

b is the base

Remember that

The initial value is the value of the function when the value of x is equal to zero (y-intercept of the function)

In this problem

The y-intercept is the point (0,3)

therefore

using a graphing tool

The initial step is plot the point (0,3)
