Let’s check out your problem:

Functions 
f and 
g are graphed in the 
xy-plane, where 
f(x)=3(2)^(x) and 
g(x)=3(2)^(x)-6. If 
(0,a) is the 
y-intercept of function 
f and 
(0,b) is the 
y-intercept of function 
g, then what is the value of 
a-b ?

Functions f f and g g are graphed in the xy x y -plane, where f(x)=3(2)x f(x)=3(2)^{x} and g(x)=3(2)x6 g(x)=3(2)^{x}-6 . If (0,a) (0, a) is the y y -intercept of function f f and (0,b) (0, b) is the y y -intercept of function g g , then what is the value of ab a-b ?

Q. Functions f f and g g are graphed in the xy x y -plane, where f(x)=3(2)x f(x)=3(2)^{x} and g(x)=3(2)x6 g(x)=3(2)^{x}-6 . If (0,a) (0, a) is the y y -intercept of function f f and (0,b) (0, b) is the y y -intercept of function g g , then what is the value of ab a-b ?
  1. Find y-intercept of f(x)f(x): To find the y-intercept of f(x)f(x), we plug in x=0x=0 into f(x)=3(2)xf(x)=3(2)^{x}.
  2. Find y-intercept of g(x)g(x): Now, let's find the y-intercept of g(x)g(x) by plugging x=0x=0 into g(x)=3(2)x6g(x)=3(2)^{x}-6.
  3. Calculate aba-b: Finally, we calculate aba-b.
