Q. The graph of f(x)=10(0.75)x f(x)=10(0.75)^x for x0 x\geq0 is shown. What is the initial value of the function?
  1. Evaluate f(0)f(0): The initial value of a function is the value of the function when xx is 00. To find the initial value of the function f(x)=10(0.75)xf(x)=10(0.75)^x, we need to evaluate f(0)f(0).
  2. Substitute xx with 00: Substitute xx with 00 in the function f(x)=10(0.75)xf(x)=10(0.75)^x to calculate the initial value.\newlinef(0)=10(0.75)0f(0)=10(0.75)^0
  3. Calculate (0.75)0(0.75)^0: Any non-zero number raised to the power of 00 is 11. Therefore, (0.75)0(0.75)^0 is 11.10(0.75)0=10×110(0.75)^0 = 10 \times 1
  4. Multiply 1010 by 11: Multiply 1010 by 11 to get the initial value.\newline10×1=1010 \times 1 = 10
