Math Problem Statement

If f(x)=10^x, what are the coordinates for the y-intercept of f(x)+3?

Write your response as an ordered pair. Do not include any spaces.

Solution

The y-intercept occurs when x=0x = 0. To find the y-intercept of f(x)+3f(x) + 3, we first calculate:

f(0)=100=1f(0) = 10^0 = 1

Then, we add 3:

f(0)+3=1+3=4f(0) + 3 = 1 + 3 = 4

Thus, the coordinates of the y-intercept are (0,4)(0, 4).

The ordered pair is:
(0,4)(0,4)

Here are five related questions for further exploration:

  1. What is the y-intercept of f(x)=2x+3f(x) = 2^x + 3?
  2. What is the slope of f(x)=10xf(x) = 10^x at x=0x = 0?
  3. How does adding a constant to a function affect its graph?
  4. How do you find x-intercepts of exponential functions?
  5. What is the derivative of f(x)=10xf(x) = 10^x?

Tip: The y-intercept of a function is found by evaluating the function at x=0x = 0.
