people

Answer 1

To find the number of people who initially watched the video, we need to determine the $y$-intercept of the function given by

$$y=4(6{)}^t$$

The $y$-intercept occurs when $t=0$. Let's substitute $t=0$ into the equation:

$$y=4(6{)}^0$$

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

$$y=4\cdot 1=4$$

Thus, the number of people who initially watched the video (the $y$-intercept) is 4 people.

So the answer is: 4 people.
