Question

How do i find the y intercept?

Answer 1

The functions f(x) and g(x) are described using the following equation and table:

f(x) = 3(1.02)x

Table: http://prntscr.com/449trq

Which statement best compares the y-intercepts of f(x) and g(x)?
The y-intercept of f(x) is equal to the y-intercept of g(x).

The y-intercept of f(x) is equal to 2 times the y-intercept of g(x).

The y-intercept of g(x) is equal to 2 times the y-intercept of f(x).

The y-intercept of g(x) is equal to 2 plus y-intercept of f(x)

Answer 2

y intercept is when x=0

Answer 3

oh ok so i make an equation?

Answer 4

then sub x for 0

Answer 5

and solve for y

Answer 6

so, for f(x) plug in x=0 , find f(0)
and for g(x), see which entry in g(x) column corresponds to x=0

Answer 7

y-intercept is when a line touches or crosses the Y-AXIS
by looking at it, it tells you that the value of x = 0

Answer 8

\(\Large f(x) =3 (1.02)^x \\ \Large f(0) = 3(1.02)^0 = ... ?\)

Answer 9

Oh wait its exponential
\[f(x) = 3(1.02)^x\]

Answer 10

we know

Answer 11

Oh ok lol

Answer 12

so f(0)=3?

Answer 13

yes, correct
y intercept for f(x) is 3

Answer 14

for g(x), see which entry in g(x) column corresponds to x=0
