Can someone help me for a medal???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The functions f(x) and g(x) are described using the following equation and table: f(x) = 4(1.02)x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which statement best compares the y-intercepts of f(x) and g(x)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the y intercept of the function given by the table is what you get when \(x=0\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the y intercept of \[f(x)=4(1.02)^x\] is what you get when \(x=0\) namely \[f(0)=4(1.02)^0=4\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, just realized I didn't put the options. My bad. Options are: 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 the y-intercept of f(x).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

options not necessary, answer is above

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its not one of the options though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the y intercept of \(f\) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i wrote the answer above, and how you get it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, I'm confused. Would the answer be B than?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have no idea what the answer is, because i did not look at the choices but in order to get the answer, you need to know what the y intercept of each of them are the y intercept of \(f\) is \(4\) because if \(x=0\) you get \(f(0)=4(1.02)^0=4\times 1=4\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the y intercept of \(g\) you get from looking at the table look at the \(y\) value that corresponds to \(x=0\) and you will see it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh okay, I understand now. Thank you for the help.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
