This Is The Question
OpenStudy (biohazard9064):
@tkhunny
OpenStudy (tkhunny):
"y-intercept" is the same as "f(0)"
Calculate the y-intercept of f(x) by finding f(0).
g(x) is easier. You are given that g(0) = -3.
Compare f(0) with g(0) = -3 and answer the question.
OpenStudy (biohazard9064):
Would that be A @tkhunny
OpenStudy (biohazard9064):
Or C

What did you get for f(0)?
OpenStudy (biohazard9064):
how do I get f(0)
OpenStudy (tkhunny):
How do you get f(Anything)? You substitute the value into the given definition.
OpenStudy (biohazard9064):
so f(6)(1.02)x
OpenStudy (biohazard9064):
So how would I substitute that?

\(f(x) = -6(1.02)^x\)
\(f(0) = -6(1.02)^0\)
OpenStudy (biohazard9064):
So that would be 6 oh so it would be B
OpenStudy (tkhunny):
You will need better skills to get past this section. Think linger and harder. Don't get jumpy. Maybe you just forgot about the negative sign. Be more careful.
\(f(0) = -6(1.02)^0 = -6(1) = -6\)
Compare -6 (from g(x)) to -3 (from g(x))
OpenStudy (biohazard9064):
I forgot the -6 but it would be B because it would be 2* -3
