Question

what does the \a\ represent in the rule y = a(b)^x check all that apply growth ratio/multiplier y intercept decay ratio/multiplier starting point/initial value rewatch

Explanation:

The function $y = a(b)^x$ is an exponential function. When $x = 0$, $y=a(b)^0=a\times1 = a$. The y - intercept is the value of y when x = 0. Also, it represents the starting point or initial value of the function. The growth or decay ratio/multiplier is represented by b.

Answer:

y intercept, starting point/initial value
