Question

Ramon 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 that represent the initial step in the attached figure

Explanation:

we have

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

we know that

The initial value is the value of the function when the value of x is equal to zero

so

For
`x=0`

substitute in the function

`f(x)=3(4^(0))=3(1)=3`

therefore

The initial value is the point
`(0,3)`

The graph that represent the initial value in the attached figure

Answer 2

The first attached graph showing the plotted point (0, 3) represents Ramon's initial step.

Explanation:

We are given that Ramon is graphing the function f(x) = 3(4)x and that he begins by plotting the initial value.

So if we will input 1 for the value of x and then evaluate the plot point.

Therefore, we will get the point (0, 3) as the answer for this initial step.

Also, the first attached graph here showing the plotted point (0, 3) represents Ramon's initial step.
