Question

Explain why the initial value of any function in the form of F(x)=a(b^x) is equal to a

Answer 1

When comes to initial value, x is equals to 0.

So x = 0 is substitute into the function.

In Indices Law, any values to the power of 0 will be 1.

So the initial value of function will be :

`f(x) = a( {b}^(x) )`

`f(0) = a * {b}^(0)`

`f(0) = a * 1`

`f(0) = a`
