We have the following equation:
y = 2 (2.71) ^ x
It is an equation of the form:
y = A (b) ^ x
Where,
A: initial amount
b: growth rate
We have then that the initial amount occurs for x = 0
Substituting:
y = 2 (2.71) ^ 0
y = 2 (1)
y = 2
Answer:
the initial value of and in the equation y = 2 (2.71) ^ x is:
y = 2
