1 answer

To find the y-intercept of the function \( y = \frac{1}{5} (2)^x \), we need to evaluate the function at \( x = 0 \).

Substituting \( x = 0 \) into the equation:

\[ y = \frac{1}{5} (2)^0 = \frac{1}{5} \times 1 = \frac{1}{5} \]

Thus, the y-intercept is \( \left(0, \frac{1}{5}\right) \).

So, the final answer for the y-intercept is:

(0, \(\frac{1}{5}\))
