Question

ramon is graphing the function \\(f(x) = 3(4)^x\\). he begins by plotting the initial value. which graph represents his initial step?

Explanation:

Identify the initial value function

$$ f(x) = 3(4)^x $$

Calculate the initial value at x = 0

$$ f(0) = 3(4)^0 = 3(1) = 3 $$

Determine the coordinates of the plotted point

$$ (x, y) = (0, 3) $$

Answer:

• The graph showing a plotted point at \((0, 3)\) (Correct answer)
