To determine the initial value of the sequence based on the description of the plotted curve, you would typically look at where the curve intersects the y-axis. The initial value is often represented by the y-coordinate where x = 0.
Since the options given are 0.5, 2, 0, and 1, you can identify the initial value by considering each of these as possible y-intercepts based on the graph’s description. Given that these points are marked on the curve itself, the correct answer would be the y-coordinate of the point where the curve begins or crosses the y-axis.
Without the actual image, I can't definitively state which option is correct. If you can tell me more about where the curve intersects or where it begins, I could help you determine the initial value.
