Question

use the following function rule to find f(0).
f(x) = -10(11.2)^x - 9.71
write your answer as a decimal or whole number.
f(0) =
submit

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute x=0 into f(x)

$f(0) = -10(11.2)^0 - 9.71$

Step2: Evaluate the exponential term

Any non-zero number to the 0 power is 1, so $(11.2)^0 = 1$
$f(0) = -10(1) - 9.71$

Step3: Calculate the final value

$f(0) = -10 - 9.71$

Answer:

$-19.71$
