Question

EASY QUESTION! DOES NOT REQIRE CALCULATION! JUST TECNICAL QUESTION!
f(x) = 26(1.3)x

All I need to know is what part is the slope and what part is the y-intercept.

Answer 1

\[f(x)=26(1.3)^x\]Like this ?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

Y intercept is when x=0. Set x=0 and solve for y.

Answer 4

(y is same as f(x) )

Answer 5

\[f(x)=26(1.3)^0=?\]

Answer 6

the y intercept is eather 26 or 1.3, I think its 26 but I just want to make sure...

Answer 7

\[Anything^0=1\]

Answer 8

So, the y-intercept is 26 .

Answer 9

so then my y intercept is 26 and my slope is 1.3?

Answer 10

No, the slope of this curve is not constant.

Just confirming, are you sure this is the equation and not this \(f(x) = 26(1.3)x\) ?

Answer 12

@potato_donuts

Answer 13

im not sure now, im pretty sure its not to the power of x and just times x. because it shouldn't have a curv

Answer 14

Then, can you please check the question again from the source ?

Answer 15

\[f(x)=26(1.3)x~~~~~~~~~~~~~->~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~f(x)=33.8x\]

Answer 16

then y intercept is 0, and the slope is 33.8

Answer 17

I am not so sure if it is even this @student_basil . Wouldn't one directly ask for f(x) = 33.8x in that case ?

Answer 18

I think its some different f(x).

Answer 19

Well, if x is not an exponent...

Answer 20

im gonna close this question because im way more confused than before

Answer 21

Yeah I am also stuck there.
