1. Simplify: 3∙2^42. The graph to the right represents the amount of money in Zach’s savings account after x weeks. What does the y-intercept tell us?


Part 1
we have
3*2^4=3*(16)=48
Part 2
Remember that the y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is zero
In this context
the y-intercept represents the initial amount in the saving account (week 0)
the y-intercept in this problem is (0,75)
that means
the initial amount was $75
