Which equation represents an exponential function with an initial value of 500 ?

An exponential function has the variable in the exponent, and its initial value is the value at x = 0. In f(x) = 500 × 2^x, f(0) = 500 × 1 = 500, so it has the required initial value. Choice B is the exponential function with an initial value of 500.
