To determine the y-intercept of the function \( f(x) = 34(2.7)^x \), we need to evaluate the function at \( x = 0 \). The y-intercept occurs where the graph of the function crosses the y-axis, which is when \( x = 0 \).

Let's calculate \( f(0) \):

\[
f(0) = 34(2.7)^0
\]

Since any number raised to the power of 0 is 1, we have:

\[
f(0) = 34 \times 1 = 34
\]

Thus, the y-intercept is:

\[
(0, 34)
\]

The answer is \( (0, 34) \).
