Question 20 • KY-Algebra I

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

Answer

f(x) = 100(5)x

f(x) = 100(x)5

f(x) = 500(2)x

f(x) = 500(x)2

Explanation

An exponential function has the variable in the exponent, and its initial value is the value at x = 0. For f(x) = 500(2)^x, f(0) = 500 × 2^0 = 500. So the equation with an initial value of 500 is f(x) = 500(2)^x.
