The graph of a transformed exponential function has the following characteristics:


horizontal asymptote at y = 3

passes through the points (1, 4) and (-2, 19)


What are the coordinates of the y-intercept?

A) (0, 49/16)

B) (0, 4)

C) (0, 7)

D) The graph does not cross the y-axis

Respuesta :

C) (0, 7) 

the value of the y-intercept must be greater than 4 and less than 19 based on the coordinates given. (0,7) is the only value that fits that range.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of a transformed exponential function has to be found out

Since asymptote is y=3 we have

[tex]y=ab^x+3[/tex]

Substitute the given points to get

[tex]4=ab+3\\19 = ab^{-2} +3\\16=\frac{1}{b^3} \\b=\sqrt[3]{\frac{1}{16} }[/tex]

Hence [tex]a=\sqrt[3]{16}[/tex]

The function would be

[tex]y=\sqrt[3]{16}(\sqrt[3]{\frac{1}{16} })^x+3[/tex]

When x=0 y intercept = 5.52

Hence none of the choices matches this.
