for f(x)=3^-(x-2) -5 shouldn't the y intercept be (0,4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So is that \[3^{-x+2} - 5\]?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes but in the problem the exponent is written like -(x-2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok. Just put x=0 into the equation so. f(0) = 3^2 - 5 And you will indeed get 4 so yes, the y intercept is (0,4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thats what i did thank you.
