The y-intercept of the exponential function is (0,1)
Determining the y-intercept of an exponential function.
An exponential function takes the form
. The constant a and b represent the constant initial values and base of the exponential respectively.
The y-intercept of the exponential function is the value on the y-axis when the x equal zero. To find the y-intercept, we set x to be equal to zero.
f(x) = (1/2)^x
f(x) = (1/2)^0
f(x) = 1
Therefore, we can conclude that the y-intercept of f(x) = 1/2^x is (0,1).
