how do i fin the y intercept for the function y=0.5(1/4)^x ?????MEDAL

Question

anonymous · Answer

replace $x$ by $0$
that is how you find the y intercept of any function 
it is always $f(0)$

Hello MISTY :D

misty1212 · Answer

$$\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^0=1$$ just like any number to the power of zero is one

HI!!

anonymous · Answer

what do you like how does that look written out??? HI(:

anonymous · Answer

okay so the y intercept is 1?

misty1212 · Answer

$$y=0.5\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^0=0.5\times 1=0.5$$ that is written out

anonymous · Answer

i thought 0.5 is the slope?

anonymous · Answer

just someone okay i get the process of how you did that but i just want to know 100% that it is 0.5 even though the slope is the same @misty1212

er.mohd.amir · Answer

intercept is zero y=mx+c here y-intercept is c compare your eq with this

anonymous · Answer

okay so its actually 0 in every case that ^x is in a function

anonymous · Answer

this is an exponential function, it is not a line, it does not have a slope

anonymous · Answer

ugh thank you i was so confused it looked like mx+b and it was asking for a y intercept thank you!!!! but this is exponential decay and y intercept is no solution
