Explain why the initial value of any function in the form of F(x)=a(b^x) is equal to a

When comes to initial value, x is equals to 0.

So x = 0 is substitute into the function.

In Indices Law, any values to the power of 0 will be 1.

So the initial value of function will be :

distance covered by pamela in 9 l of fuel = 99km

let us apply unitary method here.

distance covered by pamela in 1 l of fuel =99/9 =11 km

now let us find distance covered by pamela if she has 12 l of fuel.

distance covered in 12 l = distance covered in 1 l of fuel * 12

we know that distance covered by here in 1 l is 11 km.

so distance covered in 12 l of fuel = 11*12 = 132 km.

answer: x=3 and y=4
