Explanation:

In a function \(y = f(x)\), the initial value is the value of \(y\) when \(x = 0\). Looking at the table, when \(x = 0\) (number of weeks is \(0\)), \(y=10\). The initial deposit is the amount of money in the account before any weekly deposits are made.

Answer:

The initial value is \(10\). It represents Vanessa's initial deposit.
