Answer:
The exponential function [tex]f(x)=2(3^x)[/tex] has an initial value of 2. The correct option is 1.
Step-by-step explanation:
The general form of an exponential function is
[tex]g(x)=ab^x[/tex]
Where, a is initial value and b is growth or decay factor.
In option 1, the given function is
[tex]f(x)=2(3^x)[/tex]
Here, the initial value is 2 and growth factor is 3. Therefore the correct option is 1.
In option 2, the given function is
[tex]f(x)=3(2^x)[/tex]
Here, the initial value is 3 and growth factor is 2. Therefore option 2 is incorrect.
