Question

Look out for the SCREENSHOT,it will be posted right after.Given four functions, which one will have the smallest y-intercept?
a
f(x)

b
g(x)

c
h(x)

d
j(x)

Answer 1

looking at it yourself do you have any clue as to what the answer might be, beings we cant directly give you the answer we have to guide you to it.

Answer 2

Oh okay,I personally think it would be either h(x) or f(x),but not fully sure?

Answer 3

im not saying im honestly right but i do believe it would be h(x) but i cant be 100% sure of myself maybe try getting a second opinion just in case.

Answer 4

I look at it, I am good at math

Answer 5

I am narrowing down to f(x), but don't put that as your answer yet, still making sure

Answer 6

actually, I do not think it is f(x) now hold on

Answer 7

I read something wrong

Answer 8

the equation for g(x) is: \[g(x)=0.05x+6\]. consider this with everything else.

Answer 9

if we look at the formula for slope intercept, we see that \[y=mx+b\] with b being the y intercept

Answer 10

whoops, that's not supposed to be g(x) I meant f(x)=0.05x+6

Answer 11

knowing this, you can plot the points of f(x) or plug a point into slope intercept form, to figure out the y intercept

Answer 12

but we already know from looking at the table, that the y intercept is 2 because x is 0

Answer 13

so so far, x has the smallest y intercept

Answer 14

the y intercept of j(x) is obviously 4, so let's move on to j(x)

Answer 15

if we graph the given function \[j(x)=10(2)^x\] the y intercept is 10

Answer 16

you now have all the y intercepts, if you have any questions, ask me in this thread
