we have the function


f(x)=20((1)/(4))^(x)

we know that

In the equation of the exponential function of the form


f(x)=a(b)^(x)

a is the initial value

b is the base

x is the exponent

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

in this problem

for
x=0


f(0)=20((1)/(4))^(0)


f(0)=20(1)=20

the initial value is the point
(0,20)

therefore

the answer in the attached figure
