The significance of "a" in exponential function

An exponential function is represented as:

In the above equation, parameter "a" is the initial value of the function

In other words, the value of the function when x = 0

Take for instance;

because when

Another significance of parameter a is that; it is the y-intercept of the geometric function.

δabc ≅ δdcb by sas because

db ≅ ac . . given (side)

bc ≅ bc . . reflexive property (side)

∠dbc ≅ ∠ acb . . alternate interior angles where transversal bc crosses parallel lines bd and ac (included angle)
