Question

In general, the y-intercept of the function F(x) = a • bx is the point _____.A.(0, b)B.(0, a)C.(0, x)D.(0, 1)

Answer 1

The y-intercept of a function is the point where the function crosses the y axis and where x = 0

$\begin{gathered} We\text{ are asked to find the y intercept of an exponential function, y = a*b}^x \\ When\text{ x = 0, b}^x\text{ =1 for any value of b} \\ We\text{ are then left with y = a*1 when x =0} \end{gathered}$

The y intercept is therefore given by:

(0,a) --> option B
