Question

What is the initial value of the exponential function represented by the table?
a. 1/8
b. 1/4
c. 1/2
d. 1

table
x f(x)
-2 1/8
-1 1/4
0 1/2
1 1
2 2

Answer 1

We are given

exponential function table

we can use exponential function formula

$y=a(b)^x$

we know that

initial value is the value of f(x) when x=0

or initial value is value of y when x=0

we can see in the table

we are given

0 1/2

it means when x=0 then y=1/2

so, initial value is $y=\frac{1}{2}$

so, option-C.......Answer

Answer 2

Answer:

c.  1/2

Explanation:

The initial value of a function is the value when x=0.

Using the table, the value of f(x) when x = 0 is 1/2; this means the initial value is 1/2.
