Answer:
1. [tex]f(x)=-10^{x-1}-10[/tex] - [tex]-\frac{101}{10}[/tex]
2. [tex]f(x)=-3^{x+5}-9[/tex] - [tex]-252[/tex]
3. [tex]f(x)=-3^{x-2}-1[/tex] - [tex]-\frac{10}{9}[/tex]
4. [tex]f(x)=-17^{x-1}+2[/tex] - [tex]\frac{33}{17}
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the exponential functions and we are to match them with their y-intercepts.
1. [tex]f(x)=-10^{x-1}-10[/tex]:
Substituting x = 0 to find the y-intercept:
[tex]f(x)=-10^{0-1}-10 = -\frac{101}{10}[/tex]
y-intercept ---> [tex]-\frac{101}{10}[/tex]
2. [tex]f(x)=-3^{x+5}-9[/tex]:
Substituting x = 0 to find the y-intercept:
[tex]f(x)=-3^{x+5}-9=-252[/tex]
y-intercept ---> [tex]-252[/tex]
3. [tex]f(x)=-3^{x-2}-1[/tex]:
Substituting x = 0 to find the y-intercept:
[tex]f(x)=-3^{x-2}-1=-\frac{10}{9}[/tex]
y-intercept ---> [tex]-\frac{10}{9}[/tex]
4. [tex]f(x)=-17^{x-1}+2[/tex]:
Substituting x = 0 to find the y-intercept:
[tex]f(x)=-17^{x-1}+2=\frac{33}{17}[/tex]
y-intercept ---> [tex]\frac{33}{17}
