In an exponential function

y=axb^x
, what does the value of a
represent?

initial value

growth factor

decay factor

independent variable

1 answer

In the exponential function \( y = a \cdot b^x \), the value of \( a \) represents the initial value of the function. It is the value of \( y \) when \( x = 0 \), which gives the starting point of the exponential growth or decay process.

So, among the options provided, the correct answer is initial value.
