Explanation:

Look, I don't remember this lesson. It was along ago since I got it. But I can choose the correct answer by logic.

If we will substitute in this equation when n = 0

gn = 12 x 3^n-1

g0 = 12 x 3^0-1

g0 = 12 ÷ 3 = 4 ###

So if we'll substituted in all the four answers when

n = 0

a. f(0) = 1/3 x 4^0 = 1/3

b. f(0) = 1/4 x 3^0 = 1/4

c. f(0) = 4 x 3^0 = 4 ###

d f(0) = 36 x 3^0 = 36

C. Is the correct answer
