Answer:
The answer in the procedure
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
[tex]f(x)=a(b)^{x}[/tex]
This is a exponential function
where
a is the initial value
b is the base
we know that
The initial value of the function is the value of f(x) when the value of x is equal to zero
substitute x=0 in the function
[tex]f(0)=a(b)^{0}[/tex]
Remember that any number to the zero power is one
so
[tex](b)^{0}=1[/tex]
substitute
[tex]f(0)=a*1=a[/tex]
