Given:

The function is:


f(x)=-4(1.09)^x

The table of values for the function g(x).

To find:

The equation that best compares the y-intercepts of f(x) and g(x).

Solution:

We have,


f(x)=-4(1.09)^x

Putting
x=0, we get


f(x)=-4(1.09)^0


f(x)=-4(1)


f(x)=-4

So, the y-intercept of the function f(x) is -4.

From the given table of values, it is clear that the function f(x) passes through the point (0,-4). So, the y-intercept of the function g(x) is -4.

The y-intercept of f(x) is equal to the y-intercept of g(x).

Therefore, the correct option is A.
