Note: The complete question, along with the graph, is attached below.
Answer:
The value of a = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the function
[tex]f\left(x\right)=a\left(b^x\right)[/tex]
From the attached graph, it is clear that
at x = 0,
[tex]f\left(0\right)=a\left(b^0\right)[/tex]
[tex]\:f\left(0\right)\:=\:a\:\times \:1[/tex] ∵ [tex]b^0=1[/tex]
[tex]f\left(0\right)=a[/tex]
Thus
When x = 0, the y-intercept will be:
[tex]f\left(0\right)=a[/tex]
From the attached figure, it is clear that
at x = 0, the value of y = 3
so
putting y = 3 in the equation
[tex]f\left(0\right)=a[/tex]
3 = a ∵ [tex]f\left(0\right)=y=3[/tex]
Therefore, the value of a = 3
