post ur question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jim_thompson5910 , @Mehek14 please help me.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what do you need help with? where are you stuck?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know how to find the answer.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

if you were to replace x with 0 in f(x), we would get \[\Large f(x) = 3(1.02)^x\] \[\Large f(0) = 3(1.02)^0\] \[\Large f(0) = ??\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0 ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

use a calculator to compute 3*(1.02)^0

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3.06 ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

use the calculator I posted

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3 ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yeah it's equal to 3

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so when x = 0, the f(x) or y value is 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

which means the y intercept of f(x) is 3

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

compare this to the y intercept of g(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yeah because the y intercept of g(x) is 6 (twice as much as 3)
