Explain why the initial value of any function in the form of F(x)=a(b^x) is equal to a

When comes to initial value, x is equals to 0.

So x = 0 is substitute into the function.

In Indices Law, any values to the power of 0 will be 1.

So the initial value of function will be :

b.) 160 miles on a 5 gallons car

step-by-step explanation:

240/10=24 miles/gallon

160/5=32 miles/gallon

30/1=30 miles/gallon

168/6= 28 miles/gallon

32 miles/gallon is the most amount, so this is the best.

the answer is c

hope this !
