Find the initial value of the following equation models y=2.5(3.4)^x

a.2.5
b.3.4
c.8.5
d. x

a.2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

This equation is in the form

y =ab^x

where a is the initial value and b is the growth or decay

y = 2.5(3.4)^x

a = 2.5 or the initial value

b = 3.4

i think there was a typo. you wrote pat brings 3 quarts of ice-cream to the party. each serving of ice-cream is 1 6 quart. how many total servings of ice-cream does pat bring to the party? i think the bold is supposed to be 1/6. so 1 quart of ice cream = 6 servings. 6 * 3 = 18.

shift 4 units up, and 1 unit left.

it will translate f(x) = 3^x to g(x) = 3^(x+1) + 4
