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 ?
Q. 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 ?
Find y-intercept of f(x): To find the y-intercept of f(x), we plug in x=0 into f(x)=3(2)x.
Find y-intercept of g(x): Now, let's find the y-intercept of g(x) by plugging x=0 into g(x)=3(2)x−6.
Calculate a−b: Finally, we calculate a−b.
